You know you're trying to sell it both ways right...

Be extra careful installing it to the correct depth and stay within 1 billionth of a mm of the crank's end bits; ensure it is microscopically clean with zero fingerprints on the seal or on any nearby parts with a 1 foot radius; and don't install it slightly off centre of which you need to use Porsche special tool ABC with toolkit XYZ which will keep you within 10 kms of the equator. Follow these tips or it will leak all the oil in the first crank etc.... and you ordered the right seal too yeah?

Oh, and the process is so easy a blind monkey could do it... in fact every grandma with a wrench does them before lawn bowls on Sundays using just used toilet parts that having been cobbled together using tape, glue, spare cut bolts and a toe nail clipper.

So yeah why wouldn't you do it !?

I'm happy having left the working RMS alone and will investigate it again if it ever decides to leak, and I'm fine with that decision :-)
