He is working on reassembling the rear trunion. There is a plastic
bushing on either side that is hat shaped. There are two cupped washers
and a rubber seal. The bushing, sleeve and cupped washers are all self
evident. My question is about the rubber seal. I'm thinking this
seal needs to go on the OD of the hat section of the bushing but it seems to be
about 1/4 inch (6mm) too small in diameter to fit around it and trying to
stretch it and keep it in place is an exercise in aggravation.</font></div>
