1955 Chevy Pickup; 3sp+ overdrive.
Hi,
I need to replace a couple of the oil seals on the overdrive unit. The transmission & OD are on the vehicle. Because as is their nature oil seals are fairly tight to put in & it's a bit hard to maneuver under the vehicle, I'm thinking of placing the oil seals in the fridge overnight-thinking that they will shrink just enough so that they will go in a bit easier. Do you think that's a good idea? And what about the freezer? (would that ruin them?}
Thank you for your help,
Henry
PS: The seals are made out of rubber
