The tool (W1/see Point 9) should be used to remove

4.1
Dismantling
Following the dismantling of the rotating unit (RTE) in
the manner described in OM.MAI.01 Point 7.3.5, clean
the plug-in shaft (307) and remove any pro-jecting
edges and burring that could damage the shaft sealing
elements.
Remove shaft sealing (SEA) from the plug-in shaft.
4.2
Re-assembly
CAUTION
As a basic rule, only packing materials conforming to
the operating conditions as well as suitable packing
diameters and lengths should be used.
CAUTION
Please refer to the added document OM.SEA.__e
“shaft sealing design“ for details of the layout of any seal
cage, grease lantern and/or thrust collar, if existent, as
well as connection possibilities in the gland housing.
Fit the packing rings (301) with cut ends offset by 90°.
Using the gland stuffing box (302), insert the individual
rings uniformly into the gland packing chamber (never
use a pointed implement, otherwise damage to the
shaft could result and the packing material become
deformed).
