Installation of oil seals

I am installing some oil seals and find that the area on one shaft has a pitted area directly under where the oil seal rides. I have smoothed up the shaft but some pits remain. Is this likely to ruin the new oil seal? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. A new shaft is not available. Thanks.

For some applications you can purchase a Speedi-Sleeve and seal kit. Another way, if you can, is to set the seal a little bit deeper or higher in the bore so the seal lip rides on a undamaged area.

I have had an axle shaft on my JD Model LA powder coated to smooth out a rough area where the oil seal rides. The problem is....the powder coat has left the shaft about four thousandths of an inch larger in diameter than original size. Will this adversly affect the life of the oil seal? Thanks, Al Bailey

Al smoothing up a shaft where the oil seal rides on the shaft is not a good thing to do. You make the shaft undersize, and the seal will not hold very well. I suggest you look for a shop who can powder coat the shaft and take the shaft back to its original size. We at a Nuke Power plant, powder coat shafts for pumps and gearboxs when the shafts or obsolete. But we do not do it for the public. Some big machine shop can do this for you. And the shaft will be good as new in that area.
