**There are 3 generations / versions of this pan. The third generation of this pan has a snap ring on the
bottom end of the drive shaft which makes it much easier to install the new seal. The other two versions are more challenging.
unless you know how to remove the push/press on retainers or if you are able to source new push/press on retainers.
**The pan castings vary by generation and production time.
**All generations have variations.
* Please remove your old seal before placing and order for a new one.
*The success rate for removing a seal without damaging the pan beyond repair is 50%.
*If you do not have the correct tools or equipment to do this repair I highly recommend that you find a professional to remove the old seal and to install the new seal.
***Important message about removing the seal in the pan: (19MKIT)
*(You will need Snap Ring Pliers to remove and install the Snap Rings.)
*(You may need an E-clip installation tool to install the E-clip.)
***If the shaft has already fallen out the bottom, then you will need to pry out the old seal using an old double ended can opener / bottle opener. Place a business card or credit card in the bottom of the pan to prevent scratching when using the can opener to pry out the old seal. Place the pointed end of the opener into the center hole of the seal and gently pry upward moving from side to side until the seal pops out. Please note that the seal has an inner steel frame. If all you have removed so far is a thin piece of rubber, then you will need to remove the rest of the seal known as the inner frame. It is important that you be very careful when removing the old seal. If the hole the seal is in becomes swelled, warped, or chipped then the new seal may not seat successfully.
***I strongly recommend that you do not install the new seal until you determine if the pan is in fact repairable. Please remove the old seal and then use a magnifying glass to inspect the hole for chipped off non-stick coating, pitting, corrosion, dings, dents, swelling, or warping. If any of the damage described is present, then please do not install the new seal. I can guarantee that it will not seat or seal correctly. Also, inspect the inside bottom of the pan at each rivet head for tiny cracks using a magnifier. If you find any tiny cracks, then you will know that water is leaking through those cracks, and a new seal kit will not fix the pan.
***Please be aware that each time you replace the seal it may not last as-long-as the previous seal, because the sleeve bearing in the bottom of the pan continues to wear, which causes more wobble that creates more stress for the seal to bear. The thin washers included in the seal kit are for replacing any Nylon, Teflon, or Fiber washers that may be within the assembly. You may re-use any metal washers found on the bottom end between the sleeve bearing and the wing nut impeller. If there is a metal spring washer found on the bottom end between the wing nut impeller and the sleeve bearing, then you will need to reuse it.
***If you ordered a 19MKIT for a West Bend Bread Maker then the seal kit will include a Star-Lock Press-on fastener. Most West Bend Bread Maker pans require a press-on fastener on the bottom end of the pan’s shaft instead of a snap ring. If the pan's shaft is still secure, then you may push the seal out with minimal force by pushing/tapping the shaft up and out the top of the pan using a hammer and punch. This action will push the shaft through the press-on fastener and push the seal out of the housing. If the pan shaft has already come loose and fell out the bottom of the pan, then you will need to follow the directions above in paragraph 2 & 3. If your West Bend pan has a standard Snap Ring, then you will continue using a Snap Ring to fasten the Wing Nut Impeller to the bottom end of the shaft.
