2. Carefully inspect the seal-to-gland surface of the shaft stud for scratches, nicks, or other imperfections that could cause failure of the new seal. Replace damaged shaft.
3. Measure the standard seating depth of the old oil seal in the holder socket, then lay the holder plate edges on a pair of wooden blocks of equal height and use a suitable punch and hammer to knock the old oil seal out of its socket. Try not to damage the walls of the nest.
4. Wipe the holder thoroughly, then lubricate the outer edge of the new oil seal with clean engine oil. The gland must be planted in the socket strictly perpendicular, so it is not recommended to tap it into the holder with a hammer.
5. If a press is not available, the gland can be driven into the seat using a large, soft-jawed vise. The holder with the stuffing box must be clamped between two flat wooden blocks, ensuring uniform distribution of the load over the entire area of the end surface of the stuffing box. In extreme cases, the use of a hammer is allowed, but the tapping must be done through a flat wooden block. Act slowly, make sure that there is no distortion.
6. Before putting on assemblage of the holder with an epiploon on a pin of a cranked shaft, grease sponges of an epiploon with universal greasing. The holder sits on the engine without a gasket - instead, a uniform pad of anaerobic sealant 2 mm wide should be applied to its mating surface.
7. Pressing the holder close to the block, tighten the bolts of its fastening by hand, make sure that the holder is installed correctly, then tighten the bolts with the required force.
