To clean the shaft journal and mating surface, use emery cloth P/N 951 1024.

NOTE:

For 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 seal ring is installed.

Use drift 9995450 .

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

Press in the seal until the drift bottoms out.

NOTE:

If there are grooves on the camshaft, the seal can be pressed in a further 2 mm: Reverse the sleeve.

Install camshaft adjustment tool 9995452 at the rear of the camshafts.

Ensure that the screws retaining the adjustment tool to the camshafts and the screws holding the tool together are well tightened.
