Use a flat paint scraper, or the smooth side of an old hacksaw blade, to remove very carefully all traces of carbon and old gasket from both faces.
Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
All are fitted with a spring to preload the sealing lip. All these types are for non-pressurised or low-pressure applications up to 0.5 bar for diameters of a limited size. For diameter of 500 mm or more, the maximum pressure is 0.1 bar. For higher pressures, special types or PTFE lip seals can be used.

Lip seals are passive mechanical devices used to close the shaft exit points on electric motors and other rotating machinery. The seals are made to keep moisture and dust out of the machinery’s inner constructions while having little to no impact on how well they work.
1. The structure of the oil seal is simple and easy to manufacture. Simple oil seals can be molded once. Even the most complex oil seals are not complicated to manufacture. Metal frame oil seals can also be composed of metal and rubber required oil seals only by stamping, bonding, inlaying, molding and other processes.
