INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Crankshaft surface must be clean and smooth to prevent damage to seal lip when

a new seal is installed.

Do not scratch or nick sealing edge of oil seal or oil leakage past seal will result.

Do not lubricate new seal or crankshaft end prior to installation. Teflon-lip oil seals

must be installed dry for proper sealing.

NOTE

Teflon-lip oil seal is packaged with plastic sleeve to protect seal lip during shipment

and function as an installation tool.

If oil seal is off plastic installation sleeve, push larger end of sleeve through seal in

same direction seal lip is pointing.

Slide seal (Figure 3, Item 3) off installation sleeve (Figure 3, Item 9) and onto crankshaft. Remove sleeve.

3.

flywheel housing. Drive oil seal only onto a smooth section of crankshaft. Do not drive oil

seal more than 1/8 inch from original position.
