6. Operating Instructions
Once the tool is assembled with the correct size driver, proceed with the hub seal installation:
- Ensure the hub and the new seal are clean and free of debris. Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the seal's outer diameter if recommended by the seal manufacturer.
- Carefully place the new hub seal onto the hub.
- Position the assembled seal installer tool over the hub seal, ensuring the driver makes even contact with the seal's outer edge.
- Using a mallet or hammer, strike the end of the handle extension firmly and evenly. Apply consistent force to drive the seal into place.
- Continue striking until the seal is fully seated in the hub. Verify that the seal is installed squarely and to the correct depth according to vehicle specifications.
- Remove the installer tool by unthreading the handle extensions and driver.
