Shane:
I've done this twice. To remove the old ones, I cut off the "ears" with a
razor blade, then squirted WD40 in the tube. Using a dowel rod, I pushed the
old ones out. To put the new ones in, I again used a liberal application of
WD40, and the dowel rod. They went in with no problem at all.
The first time I tried, without WD40, they didn't want to go in. It was
amazing how much difference the lubricant made.
