I ended up using 3M adhesive remover to get the old adhesive off. The adhesive was a pita and barely the 3M didn't do enough at first. Then, I had to leave as is for a day. When I came back, the adhesive was all crinkled and easy to remove.
I used a cheap Harbor Freight plastic trim tool ground down to fit the seal channel as a scraper. HF sells some really cheap throw-away paint brushes which were used to apply the stripper. The stripper comes in a spray can and would make a mess. I save various plastic tops from spray cans for times when I need something to hold just a little liquid. That made application of the stripper easy.
My next decision is whether to glue the new seals in and if so. what adhesive to use. Any suggestions especially from someone who has done it and lived with the result?
