7. Place a light coat of grease or assembly lube on both the bearing and the bearing extractor to prevent
damage during the installation. Rotate the flat portion of the installation adapter so it is aligned with the
flat on the shock mount boss. Using a mallet, drive the bearing into the boss until it is fully seated against
the installation adapter.
8. Using the extraction adapter, carefully install the new seals until they are flush with the sides of the shock
mount boss.
