of seal by prying up on sealing washer, using two screw-
drivers (see Figure 1A). Use care not to scratch motor

1. Reinstall seal plate using extreme caution not to hit
ceramic portion of seal on motor shaft.
2. Inspect shaft to make sure that it is clean.
3. Clean face of sealing washer with clean cloth.
4. Lubricate inside diameter and outer face of rubber drive
ring with soapy water and slide assembly on motor shaft
(sealing face first) until rubber drive ring hits shaft shoulder.
