884976 Protective sleeve | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta protective sleeve, published at 0.002 kg. Volvo's own special tools listing gives its job exactly: it is used when installing an oil seal, and it is classed as an overhaul tool. It is a workshop aid that shields the surface the seal passes over rather than a part that stays on the engine, and no engine models are listed against it, so it is ordered by number against the procedure that calls for it. The other protective sleeve in this group, 884807, is listed for protecting the seal during installation, so check which of the two your procedure names.

⚙️ Key Features

• Listed by Volvo for installing an oil seal
• Overhaul class tool
• 0.002 kg
• Workshop aid, not a fitted part
• Protective sleeve 884807 is the other one listed here

🔌 Function

Covers a thread, spline or edge while an oil seal is passed over it, so the sealing lip is not cut on the way on.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Split, torn or distorted after repeated use
• Edges nicked or burred so they cut the seal instead of protecting it
• Sleeve no longer a close fit over the part it covers
• Surface scored so it drags on the seal lip

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the sleeve once its edges are damaged, since a nicked protector does exactly what it is there to prevent
• Lightly oil the sleeve and the seal lip before passing the seal over it

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part

• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
