[QUOTE="dubselector, post: 559699, member: 17361"] I would not recommend cutting the seal, you will end up with gaps were the heat and worse still, the fumes from the exhaust will be sucked in. The best thing to do is make sure the channels are all free of dirt and rust an then lubricate the seal well with rubber lube or wd40 , it should then slide in and out fairly easily. As ever with seals buy the best quality you can - cheap means poor fit / more agro and replacing more often. I am sure there was someone on here that made up a tool for straightening / cleaning the channels, so well worth a search. [/QUOTE]
