Oh and also the seal is evil stuff... It stains and sticks to EVERYTHING!! It will come off in lumps when cold and sticks to itself so although its time consuming you can pick it off once the panel is removed....
I'm at that stage with my own rebuild. The press it on and pull it off method works very well. Unfortunately, the repetitive action has taken the skin off my thumb too! Bugger.
White spirit seems to work quite well at getting the residue off and then obviously you'll need some cheap thinners to get the white spirit off.
Perhaps we aught to start a self-help group. Discovery restorers anonymous!
