Not familiar with the 12bolt, but the seal on a 9" taps all the way in where there is a "seat" if you will, or a ring where it cant physically go any more. Take a seal to Home Depot/Lowes etc. and find a pipe same diameter (slightly smaller actually) as the seal, cut it down to a useable length and use that as a driver to place equal force on outside surface of seal. If the seal is bent, I would definately get a new one, why risk that one leaking. Napa should have replacements.

thanks for the heads up ive been wondering about this as well. Also should you grease the insides of these before installing them in the housing or just install as is.
