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

[Frankvw]

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 !

Sure Phil, no problem !

@DRPHIL914 does this help ?

They (the washer) are available from the dealer and I do not believe they do come with.
As far as order the bushing we make it comes with all 3 seals, just not the washer as they are rarely worn that bad.

yes that does help thanks frank!! and Mark, that's what I thought, I reused the washer and installed my double seal unit from you so new seal in place. then I ordered my new angle drive unit from Pelican and ended up somehow getting that new seal and the washer as well even though I now realize I don't need either since you supplied us with all new seals. I wasn't sure when I ordered all that I thought the seal was needed for the angle drive but I was mistaken, so I have an extra.

I am leak free and the new angle drive is nice and tight not loose as a goose and flopping around like my old one!. Now to sort out my speedo issue...….
