    The new oil seals are made from plastic and I bought these from CAS part number 408453

    Before putting the new seal in, I cleared any burrs on the edge of the gearbox. Some of these caused by extracting the old seal. So a quick file around the edge and a clean up was necessary. Then place the new seal evenly into the hole just tap evening around the circumference of the seal. Not to hard and keep checking in case the edge starts to blister on the edge. It is a very tight fit.

    et voila, the seal is in place (but you can see the scarring from extracting that old seal 😮 )
