Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes:
Installing Seal
Seat the Axle Shaft
F250, F350
Installers Purchased After June 4, 2009
Applications
Tech Note 1: Installing Seal
2005 and newer Ford F450, F550 Super Duty® axle shaft to knuckle seals are of a complicated unitized design that is easily damaged without the correct installer. To function with any longevity, QU20052 Seal must be installed to a specific depth on both the axle shaft and in the knuckle. An improperly installed or damaged seal will allow water to enter and vacuum to escape.
Tech Note 2: Seat the Axle Shaft
TS1531 is by necessity, a two piece tool. After you install the new seal on your axle shaft, you need to seat the axle shaft in the steering knuckle. The outer axle shaft MUST be supported and attached to the Installer during installation to prevent jamming the seal's internal sealing components. QT1531 Installer Head is attached to your outer axle shaft with the supplied QU40414 Snap Ring. You can then put QT1541 Handle in place and drive the Axle Shaft/Seal Assembly in until QT1531 Head stops against the Steering Knuckle. Remove the tool components and continue reassembling your front Dana Super 60 axle.
Tech Note 3: F250, F350
TS1531 cannot be used on 2005 and newer Super Duty® F-250, F-350 front axles as the Seal is set much shallower from the outer knuckle face. Please see TS1530 for 2005-up F250, F350 axles.
Tech Note 4: Installers Purchased After June 4, 2009
If you already have one of our TS1530 Installers purchased after June 4, 2009, you only need to order QT1531 Installer Head to install seals on F-450, F-550 4x4s as your QT1541 Driver Handle will fit both QT1530 and QT1531 Installer Heads!
