 One memorable -35F day I replaced FIVE of these..the owners went out and
started the car and only one (luckly) went back in to get warm..and HE saw
the oil leak and ran out to stop the engine...
Get and *internal* pipe wrench (Snap-On BluePoint) and remove the center
pipe..slip out he old seal and slip in the new...15 minutes..easy..
