As I recall, the rotor o-rings were a snug fit, but I don’t recall any special difficulty with installing any of the TES seals.

Thanks Mark,

No problem with the newly sized coolent TES O-rings and the outer (larger) rotor

oil seal O-ring fits the ID of the seal ring and is no problem.....The inner (Smaller) rotor

oil seal O-ring fits the OD of the seal ring and has to be stretched slightly to install.......

Thanks Again,

Chuck and Mark,

Do either have a favored method of heating /warming the inner rotor oil

seal TES O-ring to avoid the possibility of tearing when stretching to install

on the inner seal ?? Or was this not a problem when you installed your seals ??

I do not want to destroy a seal in the process !! Wish both of you were

going to be at Tracy's to give me some backup on the use of these seals !!

Thanks
