Thanks. I'm putting my chrome sliders on and I'm a little pissed. I can't get the seal seated properly because I can't get the bushing driven down far enough. So I ordered the install tool and wanted to make sure I ordered the right size.
By the way: I paid attention during disassembly, and 'from the factory' the seal was installed with the spring side up. After reviewing the assembly instructions in the manual, it says to install with the spring side down. Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but....I'm gonna order a new seal and re-install it the way the manual says to do it.
