3. Clean the cavity of the greasable flange in a varsol bath to remove any accumulated
dirt and grease.
4. Blow the greasable flange with compressed air to thoroughly dry and remove any
remaining dirt.
Installing the Axle Seals
1. Before you can install the new seal to the greasable flange, you must debur the area
in which the grease seal was staked. Use a small pencil die grinder to remove the
staked area. Photo WA-105
Do not debur the flange excessively. Over-grinding could produce a loose fitting
seal, resulting in a poorly sealed axle.
On single seal greasable flanges:
1. Lightly coat the perimeter of the seal
with some red 271 LOCTITE.
2. Orient the seal, face down, and using
an arbor press and installation tool, press
the seal into the greasable flange ensur-
ing that it has seated to the shoulder in
the flange. Photo WA-106
3. Using a center punch and hammer, lightly stake around the perimeter of the seal in
as many places as were used previously. Photo WA-107
