L322 Range Rover Service Procedures
GENERAL INFORMATION
03-9
l
Use the recommended service tool to fit an oil
seal. If the correct service tool is not available,
use a suitable tube approximately 0.4 mm
(0.015 in.) smaller than the outside diameter of
the seal. Use a hammer VERY GENTLY on
drift, if a suitable press is not available.
l
Press or drift the seal in to the depth of its
housing with the sealing lip facing the lubricant
to be retained if the housing is shouldered, or
flush with the face of the housing where no
shoulder is provided. Ensure that the seal does
not enter the housing in a tilted position.
Joints and Joint Faces
General
Fit joints dry unless specified otherwise.
l
Always use the correct gaskets as specified.
l
When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take care to
prevent jointing compound from entering
oilways, pipes or blind tapped holes.
l
If gaskets and/or jointing compound is
recommended for use; remove all traces of old
jointing material prior to reassembly. Do not use
a tool which will damage the joint faces and
smooth out any scratches or burrs using an oil
stone. Do not allow dirt or jointing material to
enter any tapped holes or enclosed parts.
l
Prior to reassembly, blow through any pipes,
channels or crevices with compressed air.
