Shaft Seal Replacement: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Reno and 2005 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Seals must not be reused. Always use a new specification service seal kit. Be sure that the seal to be installed is not scratched or damaged in any way. The seal must be free of lint and dirt that may damage the seal surface or prevent proper sealing.
  1. Dip the new seal O-ring in clean polyalkaline glycol (PAG) refrigerant oil and assemble the O-ring onto the O-ring installer J-33011.
  2. Insert the O-ring installer J-33011 into the compressor neck until the installer "bottoms." Lower the moveable slide of the O-ring installer J-33011 to release the O-ring into the seal O-ring lower groove. (The top groove of the compressor neck is for the shaft seal retainer ring.) Rotate the installer to seat the O-ring and then remove the installer.
