Once the components are disassembled, remove the old seals. It's crucial to examine the seal grooves for any damage or debris, as this can affect the installation of new seals. Use a seal puller or appropriate tools to avoid scratching the cylinder surfaces.
When replacing a shaft oil seal, it is essential to select the correct size and material. Installing a seal that does not fit properly can lead to premature failure or inadequate sealing. Proper installation techniques are also important; factors such as shaft surface condition, alignment, and the use of appropriate installation tools play a significant role in ensuring the longevity and performance of the seal.
