Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY
The "rebuilt" one I took apart had close to .030" end play, the spec is .0005" interference fit! No surprise it failed to hold a shaft seal or failed in 2 years!
The fixture also allows you to run up the rotating member to look for noise problems before installing the assembly into the case.
Also picked up the O ring installation tool for the shaft seal. This tool is not included in most aftermarket compressor servicing tool kits, while not necessary, it does make it quicker and easier. Be careful when buying however, there are two pieces to the tool and many are missing the smaller part.
