until it can be removed.

REMOVE & REPLACE AXIAL SEAL - MFR18 & 25
Use a Scotch-Brite™ pad to clean surface
of seal holder removing any dirt or residue
without removing any seal holder material,
that would change the fitting dimension.
Place new axial seal in tool #518962 or

to apply a thin layer of Scotch-Clad™ 776 to
the lower half of the seal visible outside of
the tool. Press the seal immediately into the
recessed shape of the seal holder.
Verify that the seal sits against the back wall
of the seal holder with no gaps.
Add some weight on top of the tool and let
the assembly dry for at least a half hour.
