Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when working with automotive components. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in injury or damage to the vehicle.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Ensure the vehicle is properly supported and secured before beginning any work.
- Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service manual for specific procedures and torque specifications.
- Keep work areas clean and well-lit.
- Dispose of old parts and fluids responsibly.
Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the effective operation of the SKF Seal 19753. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician or individuals with appropriate automotive repair experience.
- Preparation: Ensure the mating surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free from old seal material, debris, or corrosion. Any imperfections can compromise the new seal's integrity.
- Inspection: Inspect the new SKF Seal 19753 for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects before installation.
- Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the sealing lip of the new seal with the recommended compatible lubricant (grease) to aid in installation and prevent initial dry running damage.
- Positioning: Carefully position the seal into its housing. Ensure it is aligned correctly to avoid cocking or damage during insertion.
- Pressing: Use an appropriate seal installation tool or a suitable press to evenly and gently press the seal into place. Avoid using hammers directly on the seal, as this can deform it. Ensure the seal is seated squarely and fully.
- Verification: After installation, visually inspect the seal to confirm it is properly seated and undamaged.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the surrounding components according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Note: Specific installation procedures may vary depending on the vehicle and transmission type. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
Maintenance
The SKF Seal 19753 is designed for long-term performance and typically does not require routine maintenance itself. However, regular inspection of the surrounding components and fluid levels is recommended as part of general vehicle maintenance.
- Fluid Checks: Periodically check the automatic transmission fluid level and condition as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Low or contaminated fluid can indicate issues or contribute to seal wear.
- Leak Detection: Visually inspect the area around the input shaft seal for any signs of fluid leakage during routine vehicle inspections. Early detection of leaks can prevent more significant damage.
- System Integrity: Ensure that the overall transmission system is operating within normal parameters, as excessive pressure or temperature can impact seal life.
Troubleshooting
If a leak is detected around the automatic transmission input shaft, the SKF Seal 19753 may require inspection or replacement. Common issues and their potential causes include:
- Fluid Leakage:
- Cause: Improper installation (e.g., seal not seated correctly, damaged during installation).
- Cause: Wear and tear over time, leading to hardening or cracking of the rubber material.
- Cause: Damage to the sealing surface of the shaft.
- Cause: Excessive pressure within the transmission system.
- Premature Failure:
- Cause: Use of incorrect lubricant or lack of lubrication during installation.
- Cause: Contamination of the sealing area.
- Cause: Overheating of the transmission.
If a leak persists after verifying proper installation, or if the seal shows signs of damage, replacement is necessary. Consult a professional automotive technician for diagnosis and repair if you are unsure about the cause of the issue.
