If these specific tools aren’t available, it’s entirely possible to correctly seat an oil seal in its housing using a hammer. Ideally, this hammer will be plastic or rubber due to it’s more forgiving nature. Using this and a strike plate that covers the entire seal will lend you accuracy while driving it in. The downside to this method is the inability to drive the seal any further than the strike plate will allow.

Super Helix Seal
Similar to the housing surface stop technique, this method uses a stop at the machined housing face to set the seal depth. It is typically used in housings with flat outer surfaces. Verifying the placement through visual inspection or with a feeler gauge ensures placement accuracy.
Assembly problems with the oil seal?
An oil seal is a device used to prevent dirt, dust, water, or any other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment. Also known as a shaft seal or dirt seal, it also blocks the leakage of lubricants such as grease and oil along a rotating shaft.

One of the key benefits of using a square rubber gasket is its flexibility and compressibility, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and provide a secure seal. This flexibility also makes it easy to install and remove, making maintenance and repairs more efficient.
As an example, this oil seal has a part number that corresponds to a Shaft Size of 3”, a Bore Size of 4”, a Width Size of 0.625”, a Style of TB2, and is made of Viton material. Conversely, the same size oil seal in Metric has a Shaft Size of 76.20 mm, a Bore Size of 101.60 mm, and a Width Size of 15.88 mm.
