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?

Im pretty sure you'll save time if you drop the engine... I cant imagine this being even possible with the engine in there.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) I just did it this weekend... and would have liked more room even WITHOUT the engine in...


the side seals weren't bad... front one was a PITA...

front an back I did this... I use needle-nose pliers and opened things up a bit, they slid right in, then I went back with big piers and closed the channel down... once I figured out that trick... NO sweat! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) WD-40 didn't hurt matters either...
