        Dont do what I did then! When fitting the new ones first slip on the spring base, it cannot go over the seal!! The new ones do come off a bit easier,, but can be damaged.
        I hope there is a pictorial lurking somewhere, on your experiences and solutions!

          Make sure to dip the valves in oil before putting through the seals.

            I learned the trick on the first one and the rest came off much easier. Heat definitely is the trick to break that old rubber loose from the guide.
