 Not sure about the third party parts, but when I installed new seal and impeller kits in my KDS 18 and 19 dishwashers with genuine Hobart parts, reusing the same shims in the same places with the new parts got the clearances right on the money.
The main clearance you want to the be concerned about is the wash impeller. The drain impeller just has a single fat washer underneath it. | ||

Hobart no longer has the shaft seal kit available. Any trick to installing the seal? Do I just press it in? And it looks like the flat side goes down? | ||

Acutally.... The seal and impeller kit is still very much available from Hobart, they just don't know it, lol. Hobart sold off the consumer end of their appliances back in the mid 80's and practically nobody that works for Hobart anymore is aware of it. Their modern day SR-24 commercial dishwashers use the the same 435102 seal and impeller kit as the KD18 - KD20 dishwashers.
Any trick to installing the seal? Do I just press it in?
Correct. The dot indentations face up into the impeller housing. The soap/shampoo will cause LOTS of suds, so run a couple of cycles with an empty tub and some detergent since dishwasher detergent contains anti foaming agents.
Keep us updated.

Right on the money! Dan, you got it perfect! And yes, the 435102 seal kit is very much available and comes with EVERYTHING you need to install the seal. Gauge, shim washers and shims, and a high capacity drain impeller. You can't go wrong with that kit and it is well worth the price they ask! | ||

I have the Hobart seal kit 00-435102- and it has the shim washers but does not have the gauges. Does the washer that fits on the underside of the impeller want to have the metal side exposed or the rubber side? | ||
