Have you considered a full refurb of the spares with a view to replace at some time. It is much easier 'on the bench' (I am sure you know this), and probably be easier to do - I wonder if this had any bearing on the seal not fitting before

It is a satisfying task, and not difficult (as you have seen). Being on the bench too, it means you can inspect and clean them thoroughly too.
Bench, ha ha I doubt if I will be able to get to my benches this year. We are in temporary accommodation and the garage is about 1/4 the size of "mine"
I might fit a Little Tykes Red and Yellow car in but that is it. The rest of the space is fully taken and almost every time I want something we have to empty out the centre floor area to get in.

We also have a shipping container about 20 minutes away, that is also full and has to be part emptied to get to anything
