how do I get the rubber seal back on ?

I have a zanussi 1555w washer , the door seal was split, how do I get the new one back on? its impossible !

OK anyone with the same problem, I have sorted it ! there is no short cut to this . I had to split the carcase of the machine in half mainly because you dont have enough room to get your fingers in to attach the rubber seal to the drum. then i had to take off the plastic moulded weight from the front of the drum. its easy after that took 20 seconds to fit then you just put it all back together.

lol, yes its a bit tricky, there is no easy way to tell you iam afraid,and iam not helping much by saying that,but have you asked yourself why did the seal split in the first place? ,have you checked all mounts eg drum to shocker and shocker to carcase mounts?the last thing you want to do is to fit the new seal and 30.000 spins later ,you see what Iam getting at .my only advice I can give you regarding seal is be patient,and its ok under these circumstances to swear .good luck:)
