I was able to remove all the old gaskets with a narrow screwdriver. Lots of rust in the channels. I had to open the channels slightly, so I imagine I will have to tap them back at bit after the new gaskets are in. I sprayed brown Rustoleum primer into all the channels after I wire-brushed and used a very narrow cutting disk to get rid of some spots of heavier rust. I will use some of my trusty rattle-can gloss black rust preventive paint before I try to fit new rubber. So far so good.



Someone remind me again how to get the side gaskets in place with the nut seen in the close-up. What is the purpose of that particular bolt anyway?
