Spindle-Mounted Wheel Seal: Tool Installation

  1. Place the seal on the spindle so that it has begun to seat on the seal journal with the "oil side" marking facing the spindle end.
  2. Select the correct installation tool supplied by the seal manufacturer. Do not  install seals without the correct tools and/or adapters (where applicable).
  3. Place the correct driving tool in place and drive the seal until the tool bottoms out. Rotate the tool and repeat to ensure proper seal location.
  4. Remove the driving tool and inspect the seal to ensure that it is square and bottomed out within 0.005" on the spindle shoulder. Do not proceed with further assembly until the seal is flush with the spindle shoulder.
  5. Pre-lubricate the inner bearing and insert it onto the spindle. Fill the hub cavity with oil.
CAUTION: In an oil bath wheel end, do not pack the wheel bearings with grease as this will inhibit the oil circulation to the wheel bearings. This is especially critical in drive axle applications.
