   1. 1.1. Remove residual dirt on the tools using solvent naphtha or acetone.
      CAUTION: Damage to the sealing lip.

      • Leaks

      → The crankshaft flange and tools must be perfectly clean and free of grease.

      → The sealing ring must be fitted dry, i.e. no oil, grease or other lubricants can be used.

      → The crankcase bore must not be oiled.

      → The sealing ring can only be positioned on the assembly tool using the supporting sleeve.

      → The new crankshaft sealing ring (PTFE) is supplied on a supporting sleeve as a spare part.

      → Do not remove the sealing ring from the supporting sleeve.

2. Position the crankshaft sealing ring -2-  and support ring -3-  dry on the insertion part -1-  . Apply pressure only to the support ring when doing this.
   1. 2.1. Do not use lubricants.

6. Remove assembly aid.
   1. 6.1. Undo the hexagon-head bolt and take off the assembly sleeve.
   2. 6.2. Unscrew two cheese head bolts on the insertion part and remove the component and support ring.
   3. 6.3. Leave the support ring in position after fitting it on the tool to protect the edges of the tool.
7. Use a calliper gauge to check that the crankshaft sealing ring is seated correctly and is straight.
   1. 7.1. To check this, take measurements at four different places, offset by 90°, from the crankshaft flange surface to the crankshaft sealing ring (level surface).

      → Measured value: 2.7 mm+/-0.3 mm
