Have a full set of seals for the engine tin to body joint. Mine have been slowly coming appart, and have recently gone down hill at an alarming rate. Time to install the new ones. Engine is still in the car. Any tips/tricks to make this easier?

When I did mine and my daughter's cars I did the following:
- Removed the old rubber and cleaned the channel very well. - Made sure the channel was smooth and straight. - Made a helper tool from a small screwdriver and bent the tip slightly so it could work the seals in - Did the front first as it was the worst. - Lubed the hell out of the rubber and the channel with spray lube - Took frequent breaks so as not to get frustrated - Wished I had a lift as it would be MUCH EASIER then laying on my back in the driveway. |
