Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the range selector lever cable and lever from the manual shaft.
- Ensure that the jackscrew for
J 43911
is backed off and will not interfere with installation of the removal tool. Slide the seal remover tool over the selector shaft (2) with the threaded
end of the tool towards the seal.
- Rotate the removal tool so that the threads on the end of the tool engage the steel shell (1) of the seal. Use a wrench to ensure that the removal tool is firmly attached to the seal shell.
- Rotate the jackscrew in the clockwise direction to remove the seal from the bore. Discard the seal that was removed.
Installation Procedure
- Carefully slide a new selector shaft seal (1) over the selector shaft (2) with the wide face of the steel case facing outward. Position the
seal so that it is starting to enter the seal bore.
- Obtain
J 43909
and remove the inner sleeve so that the tool will slide over the selector shaft.
- Slide the
J 43909
into position so that the end of the tool contacts the seal being installed. Use a mallet to strike the
J 43909
and drive
the new seal into the bore until it is seated at the bottom of the bore.
- Connect the range selector lever cable and lever to the manual shaft.
