Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, first verify that the mounting surface on the shaft is clean, free of rust, and devoid of any deep grooves or scratches that could compromise the seal. Always use a seal installation driver that matches the outer diameter of the 100mm seal to ensure it is pressed in squarely and evenly. If the seal enters at an angle, it may fail prematurely. Never use sharp tools to pry the seal into place, as the rubber sealing lip is highly susceptible to nicks or tears. Regular maintenance involves checking the exterior housing area during oil changes to ensure no weepage is present.
