What about installation? Do I need to get a special tool,or can I just use a 2x4 and tap it on evenly? Drill (2) 3/32" or 1/8" holes in the front of the cover on the raised flat perimeter opposite of each other (like at 12 o'clock/6 o'clock) so you can drive the seal out evenly rearward w a pin punch. Drive the new seal in but find/fab a THICK flat circular piece of metal of the right dia so all of the seal circumference is being touched when you whack it w a BFH and a foot long piece of 2 by 4 wood or piece of pipe. Get the seal started lightly/evenly then seat it in there w as few whacks as possible as each stroke increases the chances of distorting it. When you start it be sure that the "closed" side of the seal is going in to the front and the seal perimeter will take care of sealing the 2 aforementioned holes live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
