Default TKO 600 rear seal question
I pulled the rubber butt plug out of my new TKO 600 today and the inner seals that contact the splined driveshaft are quite deformed. They don't have a mold defect, they are just distorted from the rubber plug. Of the three inner seals the outermost 2 are the worst and the innermost one looks normal. Will these seals go back to their correct shape on their own or are they such a snug fit that they will stretch and seal? I would rather not replace, but it's much easier to do now.

Thanks for the help.

Mark
