Hello to anglophiles and to midget owners in particular:
A friend has the axle from his '61 midget in pieces at the moment, and
is having difficulty putting it back together!  Specifically, the new
oil seal (Bought from Moss) is a very tight fit, and consequently cannot
be installed without damaging the seal.  Drifting the first one in with
a chili can (!) of the correct diamenter destroyed the seal.  What is the
correct approach?  Any tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, David Lenzi  (dplenzi@ucdavis.edu)
