Before applying the new oil seal, ensure the cleanliness of its housing and the absence of any dents that may have been caused during its removal, as these could compromise its adherence and sealing. Lubricate both the new oil seal and its housing with clean oil, insert the oil seal with the sealing lip facing inwards, and press it in until it is fully seated using the appropriate tool.

Then proceed to install the timing belt pulley, first placing the key on the shaft and then fitting the pulley itself, tightening the securing bolt with a torque wrench.
