Before fitting the new sealing ring, check the edges of the bearing cover for burred spots. These must be removed with an oilstone or a polishing
cloth.
3. Insert new sealing ring into the groove on the bearing cover by hand. The sealing ring can be fitted in any direction since the sealing lips are facing
vertically upwards and do not therefore have to be fitted in a specific direction.
