I also use a couple of studs to guide it in. Otherwise it's all too easy to tear the gasket as you roll it off the jack into the housing.

Oh good. I was going to post a thread asking about the gaskets. I have a set of two - one thin as paper and the other thicker. I wasn't sure what side each go to, looks like the thicker gasket goes to the rear with the cover. Thanks!
