You just have to spend the time to dig every bit of the old gasket out without bending the cover at all. You learn quickly not to push on a screwdriver toward your hand. Use a very narrow screwdriver or pick to dig it all out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
