Note

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

The sealing flange with a PTFE seal is equipped with a sealing lip support ring -2-. This support ring serves as a fitting sleeve and must not be removed prior to installation.

Sealing flange and sender wheel -1- must not be separated or turned after removal from packaging.

The sender wheel -1- is held in its installation position on the locating pin of the assembly tool -T10134- → Anchor.

Sealing flange and oil seal form one unit and must only be renewed together with the sender wheel.

The assembly tool -T10134- is held in its position relative to the crankshaft by a guide pin inserted into a hole in the crankshaft → Anchor.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

–	Clamp assembly device -T10134- at clamping surface -A- of threaded spindle in a vice -1-.

–	Press assembly housing -C- downwards until it rests against nut -B-.

Inner part of assembly tool and assembly housing must be at same height.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

–	If fitted, remove securing clip -arrow- from new sealing flange.

Note

Do not take the sender wheel out of the sealing flange or rotate it out of position.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

–	Place sealing flange with front side facing down on a clean level surface.

–	Push sealing lip support ring -1- downwards in -direction of arrow- until it rests against level surface.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

Upper edge of sealing lip support ring -1- and front edge of sealing flange -2- must align -arrows-.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

–	Place sealing flange -1- with front side facing downwards onto assembly tool -T10134- so that locating pin -D- is seated in hole -3- in sender wheel hole -2-.

The sealing flange must rest flat against the assembly tool.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

–	Screw knurled screws -H- into sealing flange -1-.

–	Press sealing flange -1- and sealing lip support ring -2- against surface of assembly tool -T10134- whilst tightening knurled screws.

–	This prevents locating pin from slipping out of sender wheel hole.

–	When installing sealing flange, ensure that sender wheel remains fixed in assembly device.

Removing and installing sealing flange on gearbox side

Mounting assembly tool -T10134- with sealing flange -1- on crankshaft flange:
