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 slize and even installation pressure will assure proper fit and increase seal life. |
Improper installation tool size will make your seal inoperable due to deformation. |
