FAQs
Is this part compatible with other Shimano internal gear hubs?
No, this specific driver unit with right-hand cone seal is designed exclusively for the Shimano SG-7R46 internal gear hub model.
What is the purpose of the right-hand cone seal?
The cone seal protects the internal bearings and mechanism of the hub from dust, water, and other contaminants, while also helping to retain lubrication.
Do I need special tools to replace this part?
Replacing internal hub components typically requires specialized bicycle tools, such as cone wrenches and potentially a hub bearing press. A professional mechanic is recommended if you do not have these tools.
How often should I replace this seal?
Replacement is typically only needed if the existing seal is damaged, brittle, or shows signs of leakage, often discovered during routine hub maintenance or servicing.
Can I use a generic seal instead of a genuine Shimano part?
While generic seals might fit, using a genuine Shimano part is highly recommended to ensure proper fit, function, and longevity of your SG-7R46 hub. Non-genuine parts may not offer the same level of protection or compatibility.
Where can I find a service manual for the SG-7R46 hub?
Service manuals are often available for download from the official Shimano website or through authorized Shimano dealer resources.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty installing the seal.
Ensure the hub shell is clean and free of debris. Refer to a specific service manual for the SG-7R46 hub for detailed installation steps. Gentle, even pressure may be required.

Verify that the correct part (Y35D98120) was used and installed properly. Other internal hub components may also require service or replacement.
Seal appears damaged during installation.
Handle the seal with care to avoid tearing or deforming it. If damaged, a new replacement will be needed. Do not attempt to install a damaged seal.
