FAQs
What is included in the 02436 Gasket Set?
The set contains one toothed disc and one sealing ring for the planetary gearbox wheel hub.
Is this kit compatible with all vehicle gearboxes?
No, this is specifically for external planetary gearboxes. Always cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or gearbox model number with the part number.
Do I need special tools for this installation?
While basic mechanical tools are sufficient, a seal driver or appropriate press tool is recommended to ensure the sealing ring is installed without damage.
Should I use sealant when installing these gaskets?
Follow the vehicle manufacturer's service manual. In most cases, the provided seals are designed to work without additional chemical sealants.
How do I know if I have the correct part?
Match the part number '02436' with your existing part or check the manufacturer's catalog based on your specific vehicle application.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty fitting the sealing ring
Ensure the housing surface is completely free of old gasket material and apply a light coat of clean gear oil to the seal edge to assist with seating.
Oil continues to leak after installation
Inspect the hub surface for deep scoring or physical damage that the new seal cannot cover, and verify that the seal was not damaged during the pressing process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands and the planetary gearbox housing is drained if required. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly to remove debris, old sealant, or metal shavings that could compromise the seal. Verify that part number 02436 matches your vehicle's specific axle or gearbox code. During installation, seat the sealing ring evenly to avoid pinching, and ensure the toothed disc is aligned correctly with the hub splines. Post-installation, it is recommended to monitor the hub area for any signs of seepage during the first few miles of operation.
