    CAUTION:
    • If the O-ring is widened excessively, it could deform or be damaged when it is installed to the sleeve. Be careful not to widen the O-ring beyond what is necessary.
  3. Remove the vinyl tape wrapped around the pinion shaft.
  4. Press the O-ring perimeter by hand to seat it.
    CAUTION:
    • Be careful not to damage the O-ring when seating it. When seating the O-ring, be careful that the O-ring does not protrude from or fall out of the groove.
