the slider.
It
sometimes
can

remove
it,

NOTE
The Hondafactory
has

its
way
down
into
the

and
give
the
appearance
of a
worn
or
leaking
oil
seal.
Therefore
do not reinstall
the
foam
seal and
plastic
washer
under the
dust
seal during
the assembly
procedure.

discard them;
they are not
to be used.

from
the slider.

is
an
