yea thats true Toy... lets hope not.. lol.. i really dont want to tear into that anytime soon..
and yes Mini I did rub some oil/grease around the rubber seal as to make sure it doesnt crack or dry out.
When I installed the first seal it seemed as if it was leaking at the very bottom of the seal where the very bottom metal to metal contact was (you know what i'm talking about?)
There's the in-set groove around 1/4" so the seal fits in there nice and flush, at the very bottom of the seal....
