3. Completely remove all traces of dirt from the area around the seal mounting hole, and then apply a small amount of lubricant to the new seal along its outer diameter. Install a new cuff in the mounting hole. Make sure the cuff is not skewed. When installing, use a suitable tubular mandrel (end head type), which rests only on the hard outer edge of the cuff.
