[QUOTE="craig, post: 33781, member: 1959"] You remove the circlip. The circlip will not permit proper fitting. You may find the circlip groove is nicked up and you will have to scrape it to achieve a round bore. You may have to trim or grind the OD of the new seal carrier flange to fit into the off center bore of the primary. You simply need adequate clearance to allow centering in the bearing bore. My seal carriers have been so tight in the bore that i drilled and tapped 2 holes in the new seal carrier flange to allow inserting a slide hammer puller. doesnt require much effort to remove and i prefer the tight fit.
