It helps to take a little sand paper or steal wool and on the outside edge sand the paint off if it starts to go in real hard and dont lube the seal unless it says to. Also try not to touch the inside lips

I've read that the "Paint" on the outside of the seal is actually a sealer to seal it to the cover, and that if the seal dosn't have it to use a product such as sleeve retainer to seal it, I think I read it in my Haynes Manual
