Assemble the oil seal into the cage by placing the through-shaft and cage assembly in a
press. Use a suitable sleeve having a diameter that will fit inside the cage inner diameter and press in the
seal until it bottoms in cage. If a press is not available, use the sleeve and a mallet to seat the seal in the
cage.
