need help fast!!
Ok, I just finished doing a 30k tuneup on my 99 Civic EX
and I just hit a snag. I was replacing all the seals on my valve cover,
including the seals on the bolts and can't figure out how to get the seal back
on the bolt. I already tried setting it below the wedge, sticking it in the hole and lightly tapping it with a hammer.... but I ended up breaking it.
Pleae somebody tell me they know what I'm talking about because nobody else does
Here is an incredibly artistic drawing of the bolt:

\ / <------- wedge thing (can't get it past here)
=

= <------- threds (\ /) <----- This seal is kinda shaped
= like that.
