Ive been messing with the rear main on my H rebuild for about a week now and its holding my progress up. I understand the felt seals are supposed to be hard to install but I cannot fathom how the one I got is supposed to seat all the way. Its almost 1/4in wider than the one I took out, and even soaking it with oil does not make it easier to install. My H is a '40, could the part number possibly be different for the rear main of that year? Maybe I accidentally got ones for an M? Or these are just defects? Any hints or tricks or possible replacement parts #'s you guys might have would be appreciated. Probably going to order another set of seals because Ive mangled these ones trying to install them.
