Rear Differential Seal Installer for BMW 188K, 188L & 188LW – as BMW 330150, 0496596

Professional special installation tool designed for mounting the radial shaft seal of the driveshaft at the input of BMW rear axle differentials.

According to BMW repair procedures, the input shaft seal must always be replaced during leakage repairs or service work on BMW rear differentials with designation 188K, 188L and 188LW.

This seal installer ensures correct mounting and precise installation depth of the radial shaft seal, helping prevent premature seal failure.

In this updated version, a separate striking drift is no longer required. Installation of the radial shaft seal is performed directly with the installation tool using a rubber or plastic hammer.

Important Information

Incorrect loosening or tightening procedures for the insert nut and flange nut may result in severe rear differential damage or failure.

Please follow the repair instructions and related information provided for tool set Item No. 115969.
