How hard is it to get the carrier in or out without using a ------er?
Can you get the seals in without special tools?

Re: Thought my Rubicon could fly - oops
Often, a ------er is not required. A hammer and a pry bar will usually
pop it out. You can make a seal tool from a long threaded rod and some
nuts and washers.
Maybe truss it before your next jump:

Good to see the hands safley at the 10 and 2 positions, eyes fixed straight
ahead. Your drivers ed teacher would be proud HA..
I am not sure if I would show that video to the next guy that buys your
