Ah! It's never safe to assume, but yes I had read it. I re-read it just now. The new seal I bought does have the plastic ring on the inside of the seal. I'm assuming this holds the seal from contracting during storage, and will make installation easier.
According to the FAQ
"
[Editor] Volvo grey Viton seal p/n 6842160 is well worth the slight extra cost. When you get the seal, it comes on a round plastic carrier. Cut off the inner protrusion (the lip pointing toward the center of the circle) with a coping saw and an X-Acto knife, then use the carrier as the seal lip seating tool. It will fit perfectly over the 92mm crankshaft. Insert this after the seal is installed to make sure the lips are not curled under, since the Viton seal is much tighter than the silicone seal. Works like a champ.
"
That sounds like I could slide the modified plastic carrier, along with the seal, along the crankshaft to install it. Is that right?
I get the impression that the trimmed plastic carrier will fit over the crankshaft.
Perhaps it will be a lot understand when I have it in hand. It usually is.
