First, wash your hands before handling the oil seal. This is because dirt on the sealing surface or oil in fingerprints can compromise the integrity of the seal, while small particles can cause wear and tear, damaging the sealing surface and leading to leaks.
Secondly, do not unpack the seal unless you are ready to install it. After opening, the seal face must be cleaned before installing it on the equipment to prevent contamination.
Finally, ensure that your equipment is clean. This is because dirty equipment can affect the effectiveness of the oil seal.

The primary function of an oil seal is to create a barrier between the rotating or moving parts of a machine and prevent oil or other fluids from leaking out. This helps to ensure that the machinery operates smoothly and efficiently without any loss of lubrication or contamination of the surrounding environment. In addition to preventing leakage, oil seals also help to retain lubricant within the system, extending the life of the equipment.

Use a flat paint scraper, or the smooth side of an old hacksaw blade, to remove very carefully all traces of carbon and old gasket from both faces.

Most effective sealing is obtained with optimum shaft surface finishes. The sealing efficiency is affected by the direction of the finish tool marks and the spiral lead. Best sealing results are obtained with polished or ground shafts with concentric (no spiral lead) finish marks. If you must use shafts with spiral finish leads, they should lead toward the fluid when the shaft rotates.
