Gaskets and seals
Gasket aredesigned to crush and become thinner as the mat-
ing parts are bolted together. Once agasket has been used, it
is no longer capable
;f malting as good a seal as when new,
and is much more likely to leak.
Forthis reason, gaskets
should not be reused.
Some gaskets and seals are
d~rectional. Make sure thatthese
are
~nstalled correctly. In places where a shaft must pass
through a housing,
flex~ble lip seals are used to keep the lubri-
cating
011 or grease from leaking out past the rotatlng shaft.
Seals should never be reused once they have been removed.
When
rernovlng a seal, be careful not to damage the metal
surfaces.
The ltey to seal installation is to get the seal in straight without
damaging it. Use a seal driver that is the same diameter as
the seal housing to gently and evenly install into place.
If a
proper size seal driver is not available, a socket of the right
size will do.
Some seals are directional and special installation instruc-
tions apply. Make sure a seal is installed with the lip facing the
correct way. Note the installation direction of the old seal be-
fore removing it.
