Cigarette Seals

["Karl Maxon" <KARLM@domain.elided>]

Alfisti,
I've got the oil pan off my '72 Spider and noticed the cigarette seals are =
shriveled up pretty good.  I would like to know 2 things:

1)  How to get them out?  I've seen posted on the digest before (but can't =
remember) that someone used drywall screws?  Any other tips to get them =
out?

2)  How to get them in without the factory tool.  All tips welcomed.  Oil =
recommended to help insert, or hylomar, or other?  Other tools needed to =
help insert (like a tube from a craft store) recommended?

The engine is in the car, and it looks like I have enough room to =
maneuver.
Thanks in advance - Karl
