Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before
assembling and apply sealing compound AMV
188 200 03.

Before installing, fill gap between sealing lips (arrow) of radial-shaft
seals half way with sealing grease 052 128 A1. The open side of the seals face toward the fluid to be sealed in.For installation, lightly coat outer circumference and sealing lip with
ATF or transmission oil, depending on the installation location. Lightly lubricate O-rings before installing, this prevents the rings from
being pinched when inserting. Use only ATF in areas near ATF. Other lubricating substances cause
functional problems in the hydraulic transmission control. When pressing in new seals, make sure the sealing lip does not run
on the same point as the sealing lip of the old seal (use insertion
depth tolerances). After installing, check and if necessary correct fluid levels in the
affected area. ATF in planetary gear page 37
