That one is easy. The seal with the short horizontal length is larger in
diameter and very, very, easy to put on. It is that other (*&)_*(((^&(* that is
no fun at all. I finally greased everything up with brake fluid and managed to
stretch it farther than anyone could ever imagine it would stretch and then all
I had to do was stretch it just a little farther to get it past the lip and keep
it from rolling at the same time. It is on there and it is going to stay there
I can assure you.
