Levering off sealing ring

Information

- Before fitting the new sealing ring, check the edges of the bearing cover for burred spots. Carefully remove these using an oilstone or polishing cloth. Clean bearing cover (without sealing ring) thoroughly using acetone or solvent naphtha.

2. Insert new sealing ring into the groove on the bearing cover by hand. The sealing ring can be fitted in any direction since the sealing lips are facing vertically upwards and do not therefore have to be fitted in a specific direction.
3. Before installation, grease the new sealing ring on the bearing cover and the fitting bore in the crankcase with special grease Optimoly MP3 (available from Porsche Parts Service).
