Components Included

• One (1) Handle Extension for extended reach
• Durable Plastic Storage Case

Setup

1. Inspect Components: Before each use, inspect all components of the kit for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Do not use damaged tools.
2. Clean Work Area: Ensure the hub and seal installation area are clean and free from debris, grease, or old seal material.
3. Select Correct Driver: Identify the appropriate driver size for the specific hub seal being installed. Driver sizes are marked on each driver for easy reference.
4. Attach Handle Extension (if needed): For hubs with deep brake drums, attach the handle extension to the selected driver to achieve the necessary reach.

Operating Instructions

This kit simplifies the installation of truck hub seals by providing drivers designed to hold the seal securely and distribute force evenly. Follow these steps for proper seal installation:

1. Prepare the Seal: Lightly lubricate the outer diameter of the new hub seal with appropriate lubricant as recommended by the seal manufacturer.
2. Position the Seal: Carefully place the new hub seal onto the hub bore, ensuring it is aligned correctly.
3. Select and Attach Driver: Choose the driver that matches the seal's diameter. The kit includes driver sizes: 4-3/16", 6-5/16", 5-31/32", 5-11/16", and 6". Attach the selected driver to the handle or handle extension.
4. Install the Seal: Place the driver assembly squarely over the seal. Using a hammer or mallet, strike the end of the driver handle with controlled, even force. Ensure the seal is driven in straight and evenly until it is fully seated in the hub bore. The design of the driver helps prevent cocking and damage to the seal.
5. Verify Installation: Once installed, visually inspect the seal to confirm it is fully and evenly seated without any deformation or damage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all drivers and the handle extension with a clean cloth to remove any grease, oil, or debris.
• Storage: Store the kit in its original plastic case in a dry, clean environment to protect the tools from corrosion and damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the tools for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged components immediately to ensure safe and effective operation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the use of the Lisle 61850 Truck Hub Seal Installer Kit, consider the following:

• Seal Not Seating Evenly: Ensure the correct driver size is selected and that the driver is placed squarely on the seal before striking. Apply even force.
• Difficulty Reaching Seal: Utilize the handle extension for increased reach, especially when working with deep brake drums.
• Tool Damage: If a tool appears damaged or bent, discontinue use immediately and replace the affected component. Using damaged tools can lead to improper installation or injury.
