remove wire clamp from around seal and remove seal from cabinet. There is a larger sprung band which holds the seal onto the tub this has to be removed also. Pull the seal off the tub and remove through door opening. Reverse this procedure to fit new seal. It can be tricky to refit the larger retainer to the tub, best method - remove door lock from cabinet ( 2 screws ) this will allow you to push a longer screwdriver through the opening, hook the spring over the end of the driver and hold in place by leaning against driver, this will leave both your hands free to feed the spring around the seal
