Pull out the seal. Use puller 9995919 .

Use emery cloth 951 1024 to clean the shaft journal and mating surface

NOTE:

When cleaning work around the shaft journal, not in and out. It is essential that any residue from the emery cloth and any other contaminants are completely removed before the new sealing ring is installed.

Lubricate the surface of the seal that the camshaft rotates against.

Install the camshaft seal. Use drift 9995450 .

NOTE:

The seal is normally positioned at the same level as the internally bevelled edge. If the shaft journal is showing signs of wear, the seal can be pressed in a further 2 mm : Turn the drift socket.
