If the seal is being fitted to original equipment you may have some influence over the shaft and housing bore finish, but if you are replacing a worn seal you still need to take into account the condition of these 2 essential parts.

If the shaft is too worn consider using an M Barnwell Services Shaft Repair Kit.
