Method of using a mounting tool to install an H-Seal in a bearing

A method of inserting an H-Seal in a bearing, the H-Seal having two ends, two upper lips, two lower lips and a vertical flange positioned between the bearing that secures the upper and lower lips together, the bearing having seal faces, inner and outer rings and a gap therebetween, the method comprises the steps of:

• providing an insertion tool having a first interconnecting portion configured to engage a second interconnecting portion, the insertion tool further comprising a roller which is vertically moveable relative to the first interconnecting portion,
• priming the H-Seal into the insertion tool,
• sliding the insertion tool with the H-Seal loaded therein within a slot, the slot being located within the insertion tool,
• placing the lower lips back in an initial position,
• allowing the lower lips to recover their initial shape, wherein
• the insertion tool moves the lower lips from the initial position to a vertical position so as to form a T-shape prior to insertion, inserts the seal between the rings and the lower lips return to the initial position.
