Note

When seals are removed, the sealant will spread to the inside

of the seal and the flanks will be bent out slightly. If the seal is

then refitted, a leak-free tight seal is not guaranteed.

Therefore each seal which is removed completely should be

replaced by a so-called “tap-on” seal.

If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal

together before installing.

2.13

– Pull rear lid seal -1- off body flange.

2.13.2

Installing

– Align rear lid seal -1- so that the vulcanised point -arrow- is
