INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT



>>A<< SEALING FLANGE WITH OIL SEAL INSTALLATION


note
  • The sealing flange with a PTFE seal is equipped with a sealing lip support ring. This support ring serves as a fitting sleeve and must not be removed prior to installation.
  • Sealing flange and sender wheel must not be separated or turned after removal from packaging.
  • The sender wheel is held in its installation position on special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) by a locating pin.
  • Sealing flange and seal are one unit and must be replaced together with the sender wheel only.
  • Special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) is held in its position relative to the crankshaft by a guide pin inserted into a hole in the crankshaft.
  • Renew complete only.
  • Do not additionally oil or grease the oil seal sealing lip.
  • Before installing, remove oil residue from crankshaft journal using a clean cloth.
  • Install using protective sleeve supplied.

4.Screw hexagon nut "B" onto threaded spindle completely down.

5.Remove securing clip arrow from new sealing flange.
note The sender wheel must not be taken out of the sealing flange or turned.

6.Locating hole on sender wheel must align with marking on sealing flange.
7.Place sealing flange with front side downwards on a clean flat surface.

8.Push sealing lip support ring downwards in direction of arrow until it lies on flat surface.

9.Upper edge of sender wheel and front edge of sealing flange must align arrows.

10.Place sealing flange with front side on special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) that locating pin can be inserted in sender wheel hole.
note Ensure sealing flange lies flat on special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200).

11.Push sealing flange and support ring for sealing lip against surface of special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) whilst tightening the three knurled screws so that locating pin cannot slide out of sender wheel hole.
note
  • When installing sealing flange, ensure that sender wheel remains fixed in special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200).
  • Crankshaft flange must be free of oil and grease.
  • Engine positioned at TDC No.1 cylinder.

12.Screw hexagon nut "B" to end of threaded spindle.
13.Press threaded spindle of special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) in direction of arrow, until hexagon nut "B" lies against assembly bell housing "C."
14.Align flat side of assembly bell housing on sump side of crankcase sealing surface.

15.Secure special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) to crankshaft flange using hexagon socket head bolts "E."
note Screw hexagon socket head bolts "E" into crankshaft flange (approx. 5 full turns).

16.To guide sealing flange, screw two M7 × 35 mm bolts into cylinder block.

17.Push assembly bell housing "C" by hand in direction of arrow.
18.Push guide pin for diesel engines (Black knob) "F" into hole in crankshaft. This ensures that the sender wheel reaches its final installation position.
note The guide pin for petrol engines (Red knob) "G" must not be inserted in threaded hole of crankshaft.
19.Hand tighten both hexagon socket head bolts of assembly tool.
20.Screw hexagon nut "B" onto threaded spindle by hand until it lies against assembly bell housing "C."

21.Tighten hexagon nut of special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) to the specified torque of 35 N·m using commercial items.
note After hexagon nut is tightened to the specified torque of 35 N·m torque, a small air gap must be present between cylinder block and sealing flange.

22.Screw hexagon nut "B" to end of threaded spindle.
23.Remove the two bolts from cylinder block.
24.Screw the three knurled screws out of sealing flange.
25.Remove special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200).

27.The sender wheel is in the correct installation position on the crankshaft if a gap = 0.5 mm exists between crankshaft flange and sender wheel.

28.Set vernier gauge on crankshaft flange. Measure distance "a" between crankshaft flange and sender wheel.



29.If measurement "a" is too small:
Press sender wheel further.
(1) Secure special tool Oil seal installer (MB995200) to crankshaft flange using hexagon socket head bolts.
