The V8 Owners Forum -

Hopefully a simple question to start my day..... When putting new O-rings in my concentric clutch slave (one that comes from a SAAB) should I be greasing them in any way to make it easier to assemble or just put them in dry and shove?

There are 2 o rings on the bearing carrier part (a sort of tube shape bit that slides in and out of the main case) one on the inside and one on the outside.

thanks

Yes a thin smear of ordinary grease. don't use a silicon greese or one that contains any
Mike

thankyou

There is specific grease for seals, even a smear of that red stuff that comes with seal kits is good, I know when rebuilding air and hydraulic cylinders at work we have to use a specific grease

Red Rubber grease on the seals and a smear in the bore if you can too will do no harm.

Thanks I'll go looking for some.

If grease is not available then drowned the seals in brake fluid
