Lay flat on a clean surface.


Use a flat screw drive or flat stick to remove the O-Ring.  Be careful not to cut it.




Clean the O-ring with a rag.  If it has not been cleaned in awhile use some soap or cleanser.


Apply a generous amount of Petroleum Jelly - "Vaseline".  Spread completely around the O-Ring.
DO NOT USE GREASE - only Petroleum Jelly.


Stretch the O-Ring back over the O-Ring groove and secure in place.


Chamber lid is now ready for use.
