SEAL INSTALLATION:
Caution:
The correct seal must be used for this application.
1.
Install the seal on the splined end of the SFJ (DOJ) using Loctite adhesive # 4212. After seal installation, rotate the seal approximately 45 degrees
and apply pressure for 30 seconds until the seal is fixed to the SFJ (DOJ).
LOCTITE ADHESIVE APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
1.
Apply a uniform bead of adhesive as illustrated.
Install the oil seal to the end part of the drive shaft case.
After installing the oil seal, rotate the oil seal approx. 45 degrees and hold the oil seal to the drive shaft for approx. 30 seconds until it is fixed to
the drive shaft.
1.
Check the oil seal to determine whether or not it has adhered correctly.
After holding the oil seal for approx. 30 seconds, try to rotate the oil seal.
If the oil seal can not be moved, the oil seal adhered correctly.
If the oil seal can be moved easily, the cause is insufficient cleaning of the adhesive applying area and/or insufficient adhesive.
Remove the oil seal and start over again with a new seal.
Caution:
Over application of the adhesive will damage the seal.
Do not allow the adhesive to contact the seal lip surface (B) or protrude past the outer seal edge. The seal will be permanently damaged and
need replacement if the adhesive contacts the seal lip surface. Do not attempt to clean the adhesive from the seal lip surface.
