That metal spacer which sits inside the seal only fits one way; do you have it in there right? It should squeeze the little O-ring, but not crush it. Does the seal have it's garter spring in place? If it's lost, it's okay to use the spring from the old seal as long as it's not torn up. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
