Reinstalling once you have a suitable tool is easier than it might look as the recess for the seal guides it into place. Seal is leather or rubber lip in a steel shell.
Bruce, That is what I had in plan but I was not sure if the shell was steel. I didn't want to start on it until I had a better idea what I was dealing with. Just finished up lunch and headed for the shop now. Will report back with my results.

Thanks for your help.
