  1. Inspect edge of mounting hole for the radial seal and remove any burrs.
  2. Fit radial seal (20) onto the insertion sleeve (9).

    IMPORTANT Install radial seal dry (do not use oil or grease). The radial seal also provides a seal in the case of wear groove at hub of vibration damper.

  3. Align dished washer (8) on the crankshaft.
  4. Push insertion sleeve (9) onto the crankshaft.

    Turn to ensure that the groove of the insertion sleeve is aligned with the dished washer (8) in the crankshaft.

  5. Draw in insertion sleeve (9) as far as the stop with the central bolt (2) and washer (3).

    NOTES The radial seal should be positioned at right angles to the crank journal otherwise a proper seal will not be achieved.
