Thanks Dick. That's the way the rear seal went in. But the front one is
definitely more than just a snug fit. My next step is to measure the opening
ID and the seal OD.
One thing I did not mention was that I heated the cover up to remove the
remnants of the old seal which appeared to be glued into place. I don't
think I warped it or anything though.
