nice ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
its been determined that the seals were jacked up to begin with....word to the wise...OEM...listen to the masses on this one
3 weeks I should be rocking and rolling.
Here are a few photos were the seals expanded and became stuck in the grooves, after measureing them they vary by as much as .001 from end to end...again should have checked clearances
