I assume this is the original type of rope seal, not a rubber seal. If so, it needs to be worked into the groove, I used to use the wooden handle of my hammer. Then cut off the excess, shouldn't be much. There is a kit available to convert to rubber seal, but it is about $400, and requires crank to be machined.

Yes you are correct he is replacing with split type seal as he is sick of the leaking. I know nothing but hear his groans all the time. He has no use for internet so me and my son are helping him. He has worked on Jags all his life and a great lover of them. This one just stumped him because he really did not read the instructions. He has got it now. Had to get a new seal though because he had tried to fit the other and broke it lol
