now, how do i get them back in. i got the number 1 back in, but i can't get any kind of leverage to get the others back in.
how did you guys do yours? did you take off your valve cover?
any tips are appreciated.

I once ask the same question, here was the answer:

Push hard

I had seal from germanautoparts.com and they were slightly larger than the dealership one. I got the dealership one, push hard and it goes straight in.

I just did mine recently, I put a litttle grease around the seal and used a prybar like a punch to knock em in http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Sort of what I do--lithium grease ("I'm so happy grease," as I call it) and a little pressure pops them right in. Don't put them in without a little grease. Anti-sneeze has tiny metal bit in it (usually copper or aluminum,) which I wouldn't want to have on any o-ring.

Re: (Longitudinal)

Oh, geeze, thanks Longitudinal for reminding me. . you should ALWAYS use grease on them. the lithinum grease is good but any white grease should do. (like bearing grease) Yea, don't use the antisieze, it's not gonna sieze on your and yea, bits of metal arn't good for rubber.
