Oil Seals

General
Always renew oil seals which have been removed 
from their working location (whether as an individual 
component or as part of an assembly). NEVER use 
a seal which has been improperly stored or handled, 
such as hung on a hook or nail.

l

Carefully examine seal before fitting to ensure 
that it is clean and undamaged.

l

Ensure the surface on which the new seal is to 
run is free of burrs or scratches. Renew the 
component if the original sealing surface cannot 
be completely restored.

l

Protect the seal from any surface which it has to 
pass when being fitted. Use a protective sleeve 
or tape to cover the relevant surface.

l

Lubricate the sealing lips with a recommended 
lubricant before use to prevent damage during 
initial use. On dual lipped seals, smear the area 
between the lips with grease.

l

If a seal spring is provided, ensure that it is fitted 
correctly. Place lip of seal towards fluid to be 
sealed and slide into position on shaft. Use 
fitting sleeve where possible to protect sealing 
lip from damage by sharp corners, threads or 
splines. If a fitting sleeve is not available, use 
plastic tube or tape to prevent damage to the 
sealing lip.

l

Grease outside diameter of seal, place square 
to housing recess and press into position using 
great care, and if possible a 'bell piece' to 
ensure that seal is not tilted. In some cases it 
may be preferable to fit seal to housing before 
fitting to shaft. Never let weight of unsupported 
shaft rest in seal.

l

Use the recommended service tool to fit an oil 
seal. If the correct service tool is not available, 
use a suitable tube approximately 0.4 mm 
(0.015 in.) smaller than the outside diameter of 
the seal. Use a hammer VERY GENTLY  on drift 
if a suitable press is not  available.

l

Press or drift the seal in to the depth of its 
housing with the sealing lip facing the lubricant 
to be retained if the housing is shouldered, or 
flush with the face of the housing where no 
shoulder is provided. Ensure that the seal does 
not enter the housing in a tilted position.
