I'm getting ready to install Mikey's new rubber seals in the engine compartment. Getting the old hardened ones out took cutting and chiseling. Ug.
What's the preferred method to install the new seals into the channels? Oil it all up and slide it in? Align it and squish it in inch by inch? Other ways? Thanks. |

If you slide, use lots of lube.
I put the bottom of the rubber in the bottom of the retaining bracket, and carefully used a screwdriver to work the top in. Other methods may vary.... |
