Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before 
applying sealant.

02 evenly and not too thick. 
     Breather holes must be free of sealant.
     
O-rings, gaskets, seals  
     Always replace O-rings, gaskets and seals.
     After removing gaskets and seals, always 
inspect the contact surfaces on the housing or 
shaft for burrs resulting from removal, or for 
other signs of damage. 
     Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before 
assembling. 
    
Before installing radial shaft seals, lightly oil outer edge and fill space 
between sealing lip and dust lip (arrow) with oil. Open side of the seal faces toward the side containing the oil.When replacing seals, always vary the point at which the sealing lips 
make contact (use insertion depth tolerances).

Lightly lubricate O-rings before installing. This prevents the rings from 
being pinched while being inserted. Check transmission oil level after replacing gaskets and seals   Page 34
