Prepare the shaft and prevent damage
- The process of creating a rubber tube gasket involves precise molding, cutting, or extrusion techniques to ensure the final product fits perfectly onto the pipe or tube surface. The gasket's design, thickness, and material selection all play crucial roles in determining its performance and longevity. Engineers often rely on computer-aided design (CAD) software to create intricate gasket profiles that can handle complex geometries and ensure optimal sealing.
It is possible to get custom-made seals manufactured at reasonable rates from good-quality manufacturers if the readymade seal specification doesn’t meet the requirement.
- 4. Install the new gasket and valve cover.
- If you notice a leak in your power steering system, it is important to have it inspected and repaired promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your vehicle. A qualified mechanic can diagnose the issue and replace the faulty oil seal if necessary.
You may have to remove the cover to reach rear stump nuts.

Oil seals are widely used as sealing devices for machines.
JTEKT's oil seals are described in our catalog, Oil Seals & O-Rings.
However, the catalog uses a large number of technical terms and is very long, so many people seem to have trouble handling it.
Therefore, this series of columns will summarize the following in order:
• The structure, functions, and types of oil seals
• How to select the right oil seal
• Handling of seals, and causes and countermeasures for oil seal failure
Lip Seals
Nitrile is suitable for environments that have a temperature range of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with a variety of fluids, such as hot & cold water, silicone oil, animal & vegetable fat, hydraulic fluid, and gas oil. Nitrile is also a perfect material to use for any application that needs shock absorbers as it’s resistant to grease and abrasion.

black spark plug. This increased durability can result in fewer maintenance issues and a more reliable engine overall.
Iridium spark plugs are becoming increasingly popular among car owners due to their superior performance and longevity compared to traditional copper spark plugs. These advanced spark plugs are made with a small center electrode made of iridium, a rare metal known for its strength and high melting point. This allows the spark plug to create a more consistent and powerful spark, resulting in better ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the engine.
Also known as a Rotary Shaft Seal, Shaft Seal, Lip Seal, Elastomeric Lip Seal or any variation of these. It is a simple device for excluding dust, dirt, water or any other contaminant whilst retaining lubricant in rotary shaft equipment. Generally, it has been developed as a means of protecting the bearings of rotating shafts.
When you start the actual installation make sure that the oil seal is always facing the right direction. So, not facing outwards, but always with the spring facing the side of the medium to be sealed. The oil seal must then be pressed into the bore. Use appropriate tools, such as a bearing fitting tool set, to ensure that this is done evenly. The oil seal must never be forcefully hammered into the bore.
