Rich, I loosened the main caps a bit to allow the new seal to slip in a little easier and then retorqued them. I'm fortunate to have a lift so it was really quite an easy job. It is still possible without one if you don't mind laying on your back. Give me a call if you have any questions 253-851-7316. Good luck, Jim
