>>l<< OIL SEAL INSTALLATION

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: To eliminate a seal malfunction at the valve housing alignment surface, the upper surface of the oil seal should project outward approximately 1 mm (0.04 inch) from the housing edge surface.

Using special tool MB991152, press the oil seal into the valve housing.
