Does anyone know where I can get some upper link pin seals that don't break when they are stretched? Or is there some secret to putting these things on? I've now broken 10....
Any help would be appreciated.

I know how frustrating this is so I just put a black plastic zip tie over the torn apart seal after I have repositioned it. This works great at keeping the seal in place. Who needs to know that you fixed the problem this way? The same goes for forgetting to put the seal on when you reassemble a link pin!!! Try it, Mike

I ordered some for Steel Rubber. If those break, i'm going with the zip tie!
Thanks.

I haven't got to that part assembling my car but I was thinking I'd made something out of a bike tube. That has lots of elasticity.
