 Speedodrive seal, should it drop in or should it be 'forced' ? |

Hi, replacing the seals on the speedodrive. (combining it with the gearboxoil change)
(inspired by the saturday video of Ian / Cuddy_K) O-ring makes perfect sense. Easy one. But the seal.... I had a hard time getting the old seal out, so it came out in pieces in the end. The new seal does not just drop in position. Should the new shaft seal (999 113 036 50) just drop in ? Or do I just put the shaft in, seal around the end of the shaft and then the rest of the parts will press it further in when I am assembling it back ? Or do you press the seal in first and then the shaft through it ? Any tips ? Thanks !  |

I tried pushing that seal in and it wouldn’t stay. I wound up putting it in with the washer on top of it and then let it press into place when I tightened the speedo angled arm into the drive. I took the arm back out to inspect the results and it definitely pressed the seal in correctly. QUOTE(Frankvw @ Jun 30 2020, 12:28 PM) @Aualexa1 thanks for the reply, that is what I had in mind, but wanted to verify this with the World first. No idea what the original way is. can you provide an additional picture showing where that seal circled in green goes? appreciate the tutorial- I also installed my 914rubber part and then realized that the old angle drive was severly worn so I ordered a new angle drive, but not sure if it comes with that seal and washer or if they have to be ordered separately, and where each part goes.
