Ah feck, that means I need to pull the shaft back out somehow to remove/reverse the seal! Just when I thought I was nearly finished.________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Yeah, the issue you're going to have is trying to remove that seal will almost certainly damage it, so you'll need a new one for sure.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

They're lipped, they only seal properly in one direction, like most oil seals.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Cheers guys, I've ordered a new one with the expectation that the old one will possibly get mangled getting it out.________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Yes, the housings are different sizes on each side so they are different size oil seals.As Phillipm says, the 'lip' of the seal fits on the outside as you're looking at the housing. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

My new seal arrived today and going to fit it tonight. Just so I'm absolutely certain here, the seal goes in this way...... and not this way.....  Also, can someone confirm if the outer face of the seal should be flush with the housing or slightly proud?.....there seems to be conflicting opinions on this ________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Yes top pic is correct way. Thats newer type seal just fit it flush. Make sure you tap it in with a nice fitting socket or something dead flat to push it in by the outside and not damage the inside. ________________________________________ Black power baby!
