They suck to change.

I might be on crack but its been awhile since I played with them. They go in from the inside right. I just remember using a long piece of pipe to get them in or out.

so for instal did you just(lets say you were putting in the long side seal) put the pipe through the shortside knuckle?spindle hole, and beat it in like that?, then the other knuck/spindle hole for the short side?

When we did Doug's we used a long piece of angle iron to go through the tube, and held a flat piece of steel between the angle and the seal. We have 3 or 4 people so one held the housing in place, one held the angle and steel plate in line (with their fingers, take that OSHA!) and one hammered. It was not hard.

if you say that then you are not wise in the ways of assembly.
