If the shaft is grooved, pitted, corroded, or rough where the seal lip rides, a new seal may not stop the leak by itself. Lightly lubricate the seal lip before installation to prevent dry-start damage, and press the seal squarely into the housing using an appropriate seal driver or correctly sized installer. Do not hammer directly on the sealing lip or distort the steel outer case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e26-41953\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mercury\/Quicksilver formatted part number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e41953\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mercury base\/manufacturer part number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2641953\u003c\/strong\u003e — alternate catalog formatting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSierra 18-2016\u003c\/strong\u003e — aftermarket cross-reference; verify by application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGLM 85010\u003c\/strong\u003e — aftermarket cross-reference; verify by application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0764337\u003c\/strong\u003e — replacement\/reference number listed in catalog data; verify by application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOil seals should be matched by exact Mercury part number, shaft size, bore size, and diagram location.
