A little tip we use in the Truck Garage everyday for those gaskets that are in tight places or overhead. Clean surfaces as normal, apply Super 77 spray on Adheasive to one or more sides of the gasket and stick it into place. now it sits there waiting for you to stab the part onto it. Tip of this tip: keep in mind the poor sap that will have to someday make this repair again. Apply the adheasive to one side of the gasket, stick the gasket to the part. then install the part into the tight area. this way when the part is removed the gasket stays on the part and you do not have to run a gasket removal tool over your head to remove the material.
