Reverse lamp switch - ’l’ series (page 2 of 2)

1. The drive shaft inboard joint has also been modified for use with the modified oil seal. The modified drive shaft is identified by a groove ’A’ above which indicates that additional oil seal clearance has been added at ’B’ above. Modified drive shafts can be used with either oil seal type but later type oil seal CANNOT be used with the original type drive shafts.

CAUTION: Do not fit a modified oil seal when early type drive shafts are fitted, as the drive shaft circlip will not engage in the differential.

2. Thoroughly clean oil seal recess and splines of drive shaft.
3. Lubricate original type oil seal with new gearbox oil.

CAUTION: Modified type oil seal is waxed and MUST NOT be lubricated before fitment.

4. With sealing lip facing towards differential housing, locate NEW seal on appropriate tool: Original seal ’A’- use tool 18G 1354 and 18G 1354-16. Modified seal ’B’- use tool 18G 1354 and 18G 1354-21
5. Carefully drift oil seal into differential housing until it is fully seated in recess.

6. Fully insert oil seal protector tool (Unipart TRV 100060) into differential oil seal so that oil seal lip is protected, ensure split end is butted correctly.
