Instructions

TO INSTALL NO. 495P3 HUB AND SEAL KIT

IMPORTANT: Be sure the inner surface of the tub
flange is clean of all foreign material before
installing the new seal.

8. Apply a small amount of No. 27615P Sealant
(supplied in kit) around the outer surface of the tub
flange, Figure 2.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow sealant to get in
contact with the flinger, Figure 2, as this could
prevent the flinger from keeping moisture out of
the upper bearing.

3. Remove the seal head from the hub.

4. Remove the large hex nut, Figure 1, using
No. 237P4 Hex Wrench.

5. Remove the spline insert from the transmission
tube and discard the old spline insert.

IMPORTANT: Use a new spline insert each time
the hex nut is removed. DO NOT reuse the old
insert as the hex nut may loosen during
operation.

6. Remove hub from splines on transmission tube.

NOTE: It may be necessary to use a gear puller

to remove hub.

7. Remove the old water seal from the outer tub.

IMPORTANT: Use caution when removing old seal
so as not to damage the tub flange or porcelain.
