Dazco the seals come out of the cover after you have removed it from the head. Try spraying them with lubricant and work it in a bit that should loosen them up so you can pop them out if you wish to reuse them. When I replaced my cover I put oil on the old seal and placed it onto the head. Then I placed the cover over it and worked it all the way around until it seated into the cover { the cover has a groove in it]. It took a little while to get it just right. After I had installed it I noticed the manual stated not to lubricate the seal when installing. Darn! I thought I knew everything about seals. I'm sure it would have been easier to install had I read the manual. It didn't leak but when it came back from the 500 mile check up the dealer had replaced the seal when they adjusted the valves and it wasn't lubricated it was dry. I think your going to like that chrome cover.
