Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know if this seal needs replacing? A: Water in the bilge, grease weeping near the drive shaft, or rough bearing noise after riding are common signs. Replacing the seal during driveline service helps prevent bearing damage.

Q: Does the seal come with installation tools? A: No, this listing covers the seal only. Press or tap it in squarely so the lip seats evenly on the shaft.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
