4. CAUTION: Do not overheat (melt) the seal deflector. Overheating will damage the deflector. If the deflector is damaged, a new one must
be used.
Using a suitable heat gun, heat the new seal deflector. Concentrate the heat across the back of the deflector near the white colored tabs. Install the
seal deflector immediately after heating. An audible snap should be heard.

If necessary, use special tools 308-430 and 308-431 to seat the seal deflector. Make sure the deflector is fully seated and there are no cracks on
the face or inner diameter white-colored tab.

As an alternate method to heat the seal deflector, place the deflector in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Dry off deflector and install.

Make sure the deflector is completely seated all the way around. It is correctly installed when the face of the deflector is recessed into the
pocket.
