CAUTION
Performing the following steps, always make sure that
you do not cause damage to the lip seal (46).
• The primary cause of the failure of the lip seal is the
contamination that comes from dust or particles.
To prevent contamination, always be careful when
you touch the lip seal. Do not use grease or oil that
contains silicone.
• Lubricate the mating surfaces of the lip seal and of
the gear with the Grease (C147) or
SYN-TECH 3913-G1.
• Install the lip seal keeping the open side on the
inner side of the MGB.
