Ford PTU Intermediate Shaft Seal (7275 Kit) Installation Diagram & Components
Exploded view of PTU intermediate shaft seal kit components with a numbered item-and-description table.
This document is a page from a Ford service manual covering installation of the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) intermediate shaft seal components. It includes an exploded illustration (figure N0143158) showing the correct orientation of five seal components as installed in the vehicle, with a legend table identifying each item: (1) the intermediate shaft seal, which retains red automatic transmission fluid; (2) an alignment washer that supports and centers the intermediate shaft in the seal; (3) a cover seal keeping dust and dirt away from the intermediate shaft seal; (4) a seal deflector protecting the PTU input shaft seal from dust and dirt; and (5) a seal protector that shields the intermediate shaft seal from damage by the shaft splines during installation and must be removed before the shaft is fully installed. All five items are noted as part of the 7275 kit. Installation step 1 lists the required special tools: Installer, PTU Linkshaft Seal 205-883 and Handle, Driver 812.8 mm (32 in) 205-907. A prior page fragment references tool 205-241. A reader can learn the identity, function, and order of the seal components and the special tools required for installation.
