Always start by making sure the oil seal is facing the right direction. The oil seal must be positioned with its spring to the side of the medium to be sealed. The oil seal must then be pressed into the bore. It must fit tightly (H8 in the groove is recommended). Use appropriate tools for this, such as an impact socket set, to ensure that the force is applied evenly during pressing. The oil seal must never be hammered into the bore with brute force, but eased in.
One of the most common issues that can arise with an oil tank gasket is a leak. If the gasket becomes worn or damaged, it may not be able to create a tight seal between the tank and the system components, allowing oil to leak out. This can not only result in a mess but also lead to a loss of oil, which can be costly to replace.With minor lip

Steering oil seals are integral to the functionality of the vehicle's steering system. These seals are responsible for containing the lubricating oil within the steering mechanism, preventing leaks and maintaining the smooth operation of the steering components. By creating a secure barrier, steering oil seals contribute to the proper functioning and longevity of the steering system, ensuring precise and responsive vehicle control.
Wear and oil loss remains two of the most frequent signs of engine seal failure and, if not paid attention to, it can give rise to a breakdown in the vehicle’s system. Regular maintenance and routine oil changes minimize the issues associated with oil seals and potential oil loss.
The sealing lip of the RST-D is more heavy-duty, so it can cope with pressures of up to 10 bar at slightly lower rotation speeds.
The care taken during the installation process will pay off by allowing the seal to work quietly and operate efficiently behind the scenes of your application.
