Installing an oil seal
1. Check the chamber in which the oil seal is to be fitted for
damage. Repair any possible damage.
2. Look for any marks on the outside of the oil seal which
have been added to indicate the shaft’s direction of rota-
tion.
3. Always use a suitable driving tool to install an oil seal and
press the ring evenly into place in the chamber.
4. Once a unitized oil seal has been removed from the
chamber, it must not be reused.
5. In most cases, a conventional oil seal with a steel sleeve
is fitted with a liquid gasket and an oil seal with a rubber
sleeve is fitted with oil or liquid soap.
6. Unless otherwise stated, always fit unitized oil seals in a
dry condition.
7. Always apply a small amount of oil or grease to the seal-
ing lip(s) and running surface of a conventional oil seal.
2.4.2 INSTALLING A SCAT SEAL
Scats are used in places where wires are exposed to heavy
conditions (the environment or vehicle uses) and where there
is, therefore, a risk of water getting into the connector.
The Scat seal, which is made from silicon, prevents corrosion
within the connector and maintains the sealing properties
under changing temperatures. The Scat seal is pressed
around the wire together with the contact pull relief. Scats are
available in different colours and sizes.
