Assembly Tooling
Types of Lip Seal Tooling
When installing lip-type seals, proper tooling and tooling care is important and followed.Refer to the respective Disassembly and Assembly Manual for the tooling used to install the lip-type seal.Tooling - Care
Before use of the tooling, check the tooling for damage. Tools with damage such as nicks, gouges, missing material, or deformation must be replaced immediately.Tools should be cleaned daily to remove contamination. If contamination is present, use a clean lint-free wipe to remove the debris. To maintain cleanliness and prevent tool damage, storage fixtures should be cleaned as a part of daily 5S activities.Note: 5S activities refer to CPS For Dealers related to "Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. For more details refer to: https://dealer.cat.com/cda/files/2498665.Do not use a chemical remover to remove supplier-applied sealant buildup from the seal tooling. Various chemicals can deteriorate the coatings on the lip-seals. Reference "Loctite Global Products Guide" to determine which chemical removers can be used. This document can be downloaded at: www.useloctite.com/caterpillar.Cleaned tooling should be stored in ergonomically designed designated areas that prevent damage to the tools.Tooling - Inspection
All tooling should be inspected before use for damage. An improperly maintained tool can cause seal damage and increase the risk of leaking due to improper seating of the seal. Tools with damage such as sharp edges, nicks, burrs, "mushroomed" driver heads (applicable to lip seal drivers) need attention fast. The tools should be reconditioned or replaced prior to further use.Tooling - Storage
Proper lip-seal tooling storage is important and should be available. Storage is used to protect the seal tooling from damage. Placing seal tooling on a metal surface can severely damage the tool due to metal-to-metal contact.Seal tooling should be stored on a soft, forgiving surface such as nylon, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE).Do not store tools in a basket as this type of storage can lead to damage of the tools. Proper storage facilities must be provided to all workstations to reduce risk of damage to tools.Regular inspection of the storage surface and/or racks is required and shall accompany the maintenance schedule for the seal tooling.Properly label tooling to reduce risk of misuse or misplacementTooling - Maintenance & Damage Reporting
All seal-specific tooling should be placed on a routine maintenance schedule similar to the torque-tooling schedule.A formal reporting process shall be established at every dealer to report damaged tooling.To reduce the risk of downtime due to tooling damage, replacement tooling shall be in inventory and available for immediate use. Damaged tools should be replaced immediately since using a damaged tool increases the risk of seal damage or leaks. The use of an unapproved tool will cause damage.Preassembly Inspection Of Critical Components
Complete a 1-second inspection for seal and mating components for damage and contamination. A 1-second inspection is a quick visual inspection of the part and mating component. The inspection is used to determine if damage is present to either part prior to assembly.ASSEMBLY
Seal Lubrication Application
Use an eyedropper or spray bottle for lubrication of the seals. Apply a thin film
