Ok. I'm almost embarassed that I asked. I found a hook in my drawer of misc tools and after a little poking I pulled then both out in seconds. Thanks for the help guys. I'll figure something out with a piece of wooden dowel to install the new ones.

no need to be embarrassed, more than one person on this forum has been stumped on thinking there were no gaskets

Including me ! I used a 8" long, 3/4" floor moulding quarter round (the home depot kind that sits right next to your floor on the wall.) to tap the gaskets in worked like a charm. Just make sure and start them in stright with thumbs and fingers!

Now, to ease installing the new crush gaskets, rub some dish soap on them & work from top to bottom until seated flat into the exhaust port(s). They are a bugger, but will go...just have to be persistent & patient.
