Installation
Use a Strike Plate to assure seal is driven into housing evenly. | Simply pounding the seal into the housing bore will easily deform the seal. |
Minimum diameter .20-.40mm larger then seal O.D. | |
Proper installation tools are necessary to assure uniform insertion into housing bore. | If the seal does not insert evenly from the chamfer cocking will occur. |
Minimum diameter .20-.40mm larger then seal O.D. | |
Maximum diameter .02-.04 less then bore Diameter. | |
When installing the seal backwards make sure your tools hit the front face, NEVER the diaphragm. | The photo above depicts an installation tool hitting the diaphragm. This will deform the seal. |
Correct tool size and even installation pressure will assure proper fit and increase seal life. | Improper installation tool size will make your seal inoperable due to deformation. |
