I wish my old gasket came out like that! Mine has taken me two weeks chipping away in frustration! Mine was super glued everywhere

Mine as well. Horrible design!

I had to order a 3/16" wood chisel to cut the gasket out. I'm pretty sure they vulcanized it to the plastic groove. I'm in the mechanical field and that was probably the hardest gasket to remove. It was totally ridiculous

Thank you very much! I replaced the gasket six months ago, but it began leaking again. Watching your video showed me two things I did wrong: I did't use enough glue and didn't move the valve to closed. After I let it set overnight, I'll make sure it is working properly.

Thanks for your video, I like the idea of keeping the port closed for 12 hours to keep pressure on the gasket.

Great job. I’m on it.

Do we need to release pressure from the tank prior to removing the port cover?

[@margaretmartinez9176]

What if I don’t have a wheel gasket port and water is coming out of the back wash pipe?

[@teriperkins4215]

When I open my multiport, the gasket area is submerged in water and it is impossible to get glue to stick. How do I empty water from the multiport so I can glue down the new gasket?

No need for silicone anywhere?

[@carlomiele9648]

better no glue, otherwiise when yuo have to replace it with a new gasket you'll have a lot of problems to remove the old one

[@reneguzman5436]

I agree...what tool did you use to remove the stubborn remnants of the old gasket?

[@dylanjudo5075]

​@reneguzman5436 I used a flat head screw driver and pliers. I did use WD 40 to help soften the old gasket too
