By tightening the vise firmly, but
gently, press the seal into the bore.

Stop the pressure when the seal
touches the shoulder inside the bore.

Replace snap ring, making sure that
it snaps into the groove properly.

Wash the flange thoroughly in sol-
vent. Coat the lips of the seal
with heavy grease.

Bearing Replacement

Mobil-Master Series 20 and 25 pumps are
built with the highest capacity bearings
available. However, if the pump is run
on a system with contaminant present in
the oil, or under certain other con-
ditions, bearing failure may be exper-
ienced. In the event of bearing failure
the bearings may be replaced if the
gears have not cut a track in the
housing deeper than .015 inches.

Inspection of Parts

Visually inspect all parts. There
will be a gear track on the inside
of the pump body. Measure the
depth of this gear track. The nomi-
nal depth of this cut is .008"
(0,203 mm) and should not exceed .015"
(0,381 mm). If the track is less
than .015, the body is all right for
assembly provided it is not cracked
or damaged otherwise.

Examine the pressure plates. They
should not show excessive wear on
the bronze side. If deep curved
wear marks are visible, reject them.

Examine the gears. If excessive
wear is visible on the journals,
sides or face of the gears, or at
the point where it rotates in the
seal, reject them.

If any of the internal parts show
excessive wear, replace all the parts

tion of parts, see PUMP TROUBLE-
