anyone got tips on how to put in the apex seals??? I put them about 90% in, but then seem to be getting stuck on the corner seal, or the black rubber piece....any ideas??? O and just to make sure, it is corner apex seal piece pointing towards the rear, or last to put in right???? also I didnt want to push it in with anything metalic cus I didnt want to damage the seal....

Put a crapload of vaseline on the little RA apex end pieces, or they'll pop of on ya as soon as you breathe or bump on the e-shaft...

you dont' need to have the corner seals all the way in the rotors with the RA seals.

The iron will slide them in nicely.

yea, its crazy how those corner pieces just skram on your ***... Im in the middle of the rebuild myself and when I went to put the intermediate plate, I saw one of those ******* on the floor next to my foot... then when I picked up the intermediate housing again, one went fuking missing.... im telling you, those ***** just pull a dip on your ***... finally I got them on, and rotated the eshaft, to make sure there was compression.. I always check that ****.. and to my surprise, it sounded really really strong, although I wont know for sure untill I check it, but so far everything is cool...
