ABSTRACT:
A storage and application tool for installing a seal in a gap in a device, such as an oil seal around a rotating shaft, comprises a tool, optionally disposable, having an axially extending cylindrical surface on which the seal is demountably mounted during storage, transport and installation of the seal. The tool further comprises an axially forward facing second surface extending radially outwardly beyond the axially extending cylindrical surface for limiting the extent of axial insertion of the tool into the gap to be closed by the seal. According to a second embodiment of the invention, the inner diameter of an annular seal is mounted at the periphery of a generally circular end plate adapted to be attached to a component of the device. An installation tool engaging the end plate provides an axially extending cylindrical surface to enclose and support the free outer diameter of the seal and to act as a centering guide for the seal/end plate assembly. Following installation of the seal, the tool is withdrawn and may be discarded.
