Lubricate the lip of the seal using wheel bearing grease (1161251-2) (400 grams).

Use drift see 9995591 . Tap in the seals to the correct depth between the drift and final drive.

NOTE:

There are different depths for the left and right-hand sides between the flange of the drift and the final drive housing.

On the left-hand side the depth (A) must be 0.5 mm. (Measured from the surface of the hooks on the nut).

On the right-hand side the depth (B) must be 6 mm. (Seal flush with the surface of the housing).
