    Is this wire normal? I don’t see it on the seal on the other side

    its a part of the seal. looks like the seal has seen better days. if you have to clamshell out still id replace the seals on each side to avoid the leaking.

    The wire is normal. It pulls the lip of the seal toward the shaft it is sealing. However, that one is past trashed along with the rubber of the seal itself.

    This is a “low mileage“ unit from a junkyard. I was planning to swap in Lexus plugs, refill it and run it. Should I just swap the seals or go in for a “minor install kit”?
