I am in the process of replacing the seals on my '74 240D. The old ones are a metal-jacketed design while the new ones are all rubber. Does anyone know when they stopped using the old ones? Would it mean these were original from '74? They are a bear to get out. The new ones, by comparison, slip down and seem to pop right in. I hope I am pushing them down far enough is all.

I ordered the drift for installing them but apparently got the wrong one as it is too small. I'm just pressing them down carefully using the end of a box wrench.
