Section 1: Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of these instructions is to inform the reader/installer on the correct procedure for
installing CBA torque-shaft seals, using Installation Rings that are designed specically for this
task and are included in CBA service kits. If instructions are followed, the chance for seal damage upon installation should be eliminated.
1.2 Definitions
1.2.1 Installation Ring - A rubber ring that comes with the CBA service kit to be installed into
the snap ring groove of the torque-shaft prior to new seal installation.
1.2.2 LCD PAK Seal - A custom seal designed with a double sealing point surface. LCD stands
for “Lip Cut Double.” The term “PAK” received its name from the “PolyPak” seal which
is a combination of a PolyPak shell energized with an O-Ring expander. The LCD PAK
seal used for the CBA does not contain an O-Ring expander.
1.3 Service Tool Information
There are many ways to install the LCD PAK seals, because different tools can be used to do so.
In these instructions, basic shop tools that are commonly available were used to illustrate that
it is not needed or important to use special tools.
1.4 Lubrication Requirements
It is very important to not over-grease the seal upon installation. Over lubricating can cause
problems during installation by halting the seal from seating all the way in the groove (if too
much grease is between the seal and housing). As shown in the pictures below, use a light coat
of grease on the seals when installing.
1.5 Other Notes
The Installation Rings (or ller rings as commonly referred to), are disposable items as they only
need to be used one time and are contained in the CBA service kits. However, it is possible to
reuse them by picking instead of cutting them out of the rotor clip groove.

When installing, insert the top of the seal rst, with the lip side inward towards shaft, then work
the sides in. When the seal is mostly in, invert the bottom of the seal (see photo #3) into a wave
like shape. When you release, the seal should seat itself smoothly into the groove. Press the seal
in from all angles with your nger to make sure it is ush with the housing bore (see photo #4).
