It would have been much easier had I cleaned the outside of the 15 yr. old mower engine before starting the repair. The engine had 1/4" of dirt saturated with oil to clean off around the dipstick and top of engine. When I took the rubber seal out only the top half came out. Had to fish around with toothpick to find if the bottom half was still embedded inside the engine. Could not find it so I installed the new seal and tube. So far no leaking. Perfectly satisfied with the parts; they fit and went on easily.
