Replacing the copper exhaust gaskets on a 1.7 with a stock exhaust system, can't seem to get the old gaskets out of the recess area in the head. I'm trying to be careful not to scratch or gouge the sealing surface. Is there a trick to it or a particular tool to use? I seem to remember reading somewhere that you "pinch" them to get them out, can't figure that one out at all... If/when I get them out do you use heavy gease to hold the new ones in place while fitting the exhaust pipes back into the heads? Thanks for your responses.
