When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer's marks, press in with the marks facing
out.
Seals must be pressed into place using a suitable driver. Use of improper tools will
damage the seal.
Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a wheel bearing, should first be coated
with oil or grease on its outer or inner circumference so that it will locate smoothly.
Ball Bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is an interference fit should be
pushed by a suitable driver. This prevents severe stress or damage to the load carrying
components. Press a ball bearing until it touches the shoulder in the bore or on the
shaft.
With the sealing lip facing the lubricant, press or drift a seal to the depth of its housing,
if the housing is shouldered, or flush with the face of the housing where no shoulder is
provided.
Chassis Bearing Lubrication
This information relates only to bearing lubrication. For the procedures necessary to
replace a bearing, always refer to the relevant section of this Service Manual.
Bearings installed in engine and transmission applications are not covered by this
information. Refer to the Lubrication chapter or the relevant engine chapter for
additional information.
