I am replacing the seals on my 580D boom cylinders.
I am stuck!
I have two extra seals in the kit.
When I pulled the old seals off there was just the dust wiper seal on the outside edge with a gap under it.
The new seal (green) has a gap under it and I am wondering if one of the extra seals in my kit goes next to it in the gap and was just completely gone when I took the old ones off. The diagram in the manual for my tractor shows another separate groove for a seal (which doesn't exist) but not two seals going next to one another.
If I flush the green seal to the edge of the gland, there isn't really enough space to get another seal in there but I could fit it if I mashed it slightly to flush it to the edge.
Do I or don't I put that extra seal next to the green one?
Hope the attached pictures help me make sense.
