Take a deep socket a little bigger than the nipple of the seal so the walls of the socket are sitting on the base of the seal, and gently hammer the socket down until you hear a different noise once the seal is all the way down. That's when they're all the way down.

Tyler, I don't think that was fair. I know more than most women, if they post at all. Plus I'm a forum participant. Not to mention I do maintain the vehicle, chg the brake pads, rotate the tires, wire/plug, oil/filter, gear oil... just to name a few. And I know how to save text from a site to a pdf.

Tyler Tyler Tyler when you gonna learn that when the ol' lady aint happy, aint nobody happy. Real women wear chrome fingernail polish to hide the grease and oil under their nails. Up until now I didn't even know there was a woman member on this forum. All the power to her. I wish my girlfriends knew half of what I think about all day when it comes to mechanical abilities. At least then I could talk to them about the how's and why's behind my modification decisions to vehicles. For example, in one gf's vehicles I do oil changes for I said to her "I'm changing your oils to synthetic from now on." She just says "Ok" and keeps pestering me as to what movie to go to later that night. (ended up seeing Mama Mia...bla ) I wish I had a girl who would challenge my decisions and ask "Why" or "how come you're switching to all synthetic" and then understand my reasoning behind it.

The only thing I can say..Is I appreciate it when she comes out and does help me do the things that she can do and that I have taught her....She enjoys it....She can honestly say hey look at what I did to my vehicle vs. You want me to do WHAT? She gets out there puts on her MECHANIX Gloves and gets after it.....Thank goodness shes so laid back and I just wish more people knew of her and her abilities and willingness to want to learn....
