Introduction
The bread pan seal keeps the dough on the inside of the bread pan and oil from the axel away from your sweet sweet bread. After prolonged use the seal can crack and split which makes it ineffective and requires replacement.

Flip the bread pan over and locate the "C" shaped clip. Orient the clip so the ends line up with the flat part of the bolt. Using tweezers or "C" clip pliers, pry the clip apart and remove it.

Very helpful, thanks,
Just one question.
Where do you find the Shaft Seal?
Do you know if the Shaft seal bread maker you use for, is adequate for food uses?
This seal is approved by NSF/ANSI Standard 51 - Food Equipment Materials?

What kind of grease should I use to lubricate the shaft? If the “C” clip gets away from me and gets lost, what is the diameter of the recessed part of the shaft that the clip attaches to, so that I know what size clip to buy as a replacement?
If the seal can’t be purchased, can the area be lubricated? Is there a substitute piece of some kind? My machine gave me a “p” error indicating the seal packing is scratched. “Ingredients block the lubricant oil between the shaft and metal of the bread pan because of the leakage of ingredients through seal packing.” To me, it seems this could be lubricated??? Any help is sooooo appreciated.
