Just been searching.. (THOUSANDS of results)

just one newbue-esque thing i'm not sure on...

it's oil out, isn't it?

what if i'm not taking the old seal out and just squashing the newies over the top?

Oil out if you are taking the seal out too replace. I did one yesterday. You can just push one in over the top, but then you end up with another one stuffed in there. I had to pull two and a half of the the little buggers out of mine.
I would change the oils anyways.

i was just gona chuck the two i have in on top...

may aswell change the oil

if i manage to get this cooper i've heard about, i'll most definitely put an 850 back in, change the wheels back and take off the flares..

That sounds good , let Astro age gracefully rather than pimping him up like a grandmother in Lycra mumble pants
