There is a steel retaining ring that the seal sits behind. Reason why I want to know is cos the old seal was stuck to it so I need to clean the old rubber off. |

Sorry mate its all back together now. But the only thing behind the seal is the plastic seal saver.
Can you get a pic of what you are dealing with? |

I think the steel bit might have been part of the old seal. Is that possible? |

Yes. Some seals have a steel outer band. So you think the rubber seal has separated from its steel outer? If this is the case you must remove that steel band before fitting a new seal. Any chance of a pic? |
