rear oil seals

flatlander said:

I've tried twice to fit these, with the same result. I've made thin plastic sheets to ease the seals into the block, and kept the cap in the freezer overnight, with seals clamped in place, tapering towards the front to help things along. The idea here is to shrink the cap a little, but doesn't seem to help.

They still destroy themselves. I don't really want to cough up £60 for the special guide blocks 270304. Is it time to get the files and drills out to try to make my own, or does anyone have any better ideas?
