Compatibility:

Fits front mount cylinder parts: HC5340, HC5341, HC5342, HC5343, HC5344, HC5345, HC5346, HC5347, HC5348, HC5358, HC5365, HC5375, HC5394, HC5445, HC6750, HC6751, HC6752, HC6753, HC6754, HC6755

Model Reference:

Seal Kit for HC5345, HC5340 and HC5342 (threaded end gland), HC5347 (Pivot Cylinder, Honda 115-130 specific), HC5348 (Pivot Cylinder, OMC 77-90 specific), HC5365 (Compact Cylinder (threaded end gland)) and HC5394 (SeaRay Compact Cylinder (obsolete) (threaded gland)).

Note:

The smallest imperfection on the shiny steering rod will cause a new seal to fail real quick.
Remove the internal steering rod and then take some 1500 then 2000 grit wet sand paper and go over the full length of the steering rod (take your time!!).
Clean rod up, lube it with hydro fluid and carefully reassemble the steering system.

Simple to Use:


1. Loosening the Seal Gland Place the pin wrench (supplied in the seal kit) in the holes of a gland, and use a 5/8-inch box wrench on the nut on the port end of the piston rod. Turn counterclockwise on the pin wrench with opposite pressure on the box wrench to loosen the seal gland.	2. Removing the Support Bracket Use a 3/4-inch socket wrench to remove the nut and washer securing the support bracket to the support rod. Do the same to the piston rod nut and washer. Use wrenches on the opposite ends to keep the rods from turning. With hardware gone, pull off the support bracket.	3. Removing the Old Seal Gland Finish unscrewing the old seal gland. If you can't grip it well with your hand, use the pin wrench. Slide it off the piston rod.


4. Installing the New Seal Gland Place the tapered guide tool from the kit on the end of the piston rod and lubricate it and the piston rod well with oil or grease. Carefully slide the new seal gland over the guide and onto the piston rod until it reaches the cylinder. Screw the seal gland into the cylinder, but don't tighten it yet. Remove the guide tool. (it is not part of the final assembly, but you will need it for the other side.)	5. Reinstalling the Support Bracket Reconnect the support bracket to the support rod and piston rod and replace the washers and nuts, tightening the nuts against the washers. You may need to use wrenches on the opposite nuts to tighten sufficiently.	6. Tightening the New Seal Gland Use the pin wrench to tighten the new seal gland while using a 5/8-inch box wrench on the end of the piston rod for counter torque.

Package Includes:
2 x Seals Gland/Caps (one for each end of cylinder body)
1 x Pin Wrench Tool (Needed to remove seal caps)
