I'm in a bind and was going to order one, but it looks like I can't get on until march 16th... I am running my cobra at NASA the next weekend and that wouldn't give me enough time to get the motor back in the car and get it running so.... any one have that stupid little over priced tool I could borrow for 5 min to get this motor back together? I'm in Redwood city so you could stop by and let me use it or I could pick it up and bring it back. Let me know. Email me at drawender@yahoo.com or call me at 650-520-8483.

Go down to Home Depot and get a piece of PVC pipe of the same diameter as the seal. Cut it down to a couple of inches. Place the pipe over the seal, and a piece of 4x4 over the pipe, and tap it in.

nylon-tipped hammer over the 4"x4" will keep you from mashing it. -- we use a similar tool.
