Re: Heuer crown seal replacement

Abel - I meant to say that at the end but forgot. It was interesting to see the inside of this crown. Most of the WP ones I have taken apart only needed a single seal and many of those had to have the cap removed to change the seal. The caps on the 2 Heuer crowns were the hardest ones I ever tried to remove.
Thanks, Craig

: Cheers,
