Thanks for taking the time to reply - appreciated.
Funny - the first time takes twice as long as the second time....
anyone notice!? lol.
Glad it is fixed...
You dont have to use grease if you can get the O-ring seal to slip in
without rolling,
but it can make things a lot easier.
I used to use Vaseline on seals like that (going back to automatic
transmission repair days, where Vaseline was one of the most available and
least destructive greases to use on elastomeric seals.)
Recently I got some air conditioning system lubricant/sealant which is a
polymer. It is
a little expensive but a drop goes a long long way. It does a really
good
job on things
like this, as well as air conditioning O-rings for which it was developed
and marketed.
