My thoughts exactly...I'm guessing it took less than 1o pounds of pressure, by hand, to push it in. Shocked me as I've installed countless numbers of seals of the same design over the years.
As I need my machine running, I ordered a new motor, but plan on tearing this one down, freshening her up this winter.
I'll post how it goes and what I find.
Thanks for the replies from you guys.
