You did'nt say how you did yours so I'll tell you how I do mine and I have'nt ever had a problem. 1st off I soak my new seal in motor oil all nite before I'm gonna put it in. With the seal retainer off I shine all the inside and outsides with a wire wheel on my drill and then install the rope. Install the rope with about 1/16" protruding at all ends. Put just a skim of silicone between the halves of seal retainer, don't get any on the rope. Tighten the 2 seal retainer bolts 1st to pull the seal down tight on the shaft, then put just barely a skim of silicone on the block and install the 6 connecting bolts. The only time I ever saw one of these seals leak after renewal was when there was a hair line crack in a retainer cap. I think soaking the new seals over nite in oil is actually the most important step. Hope this helps-Jerry
