Honestly I'm not a big fan of the Splice to Fit Orings either...but in this case where there is no pressure and the oring is making a simple seal then I see nothing wrong with the application.
I certianly don't reccomend these kits for pressure applications.
Hello
Iam having trouble getting the three little seals on the shaft . They are a hard material and when I finally get them on thet are so deformed I cant get the shaft back in tho the otehr one . I there a trick you getting these seals on ?
Hmmmmmmm....yes they are a B888th to get on. I use Silcone Spray and slide/pop them on by hand and slide them into place. If yours are "deformed it's possible that a portion of the ring turned inside out or sideways???
Ferrari makes a "Special Tool" to install the seals. It is a long thin cover that extends up the shaft allowing the seals to be slid onto the farthest groove and each proceeding groove in succesion without deforming the rings.
Go to the hardware/hobby store and get a piece of Stainless Shim Stock large enough to wrap around the shaft and create your own Slider Sleeve. Also, just before you slide the Seals onto the Fabricated Sleeve, heat them in VERY HOT water to provide a little extra elasticity to the seal to aid in sliding them to their respective groove.
