Would like to have detailed description of how to
replace with pictures. We purchased the Steel Seal
Product and it didn't work. We called the "800"
number and asked if the above problem could be
solved with "Steel Seal". We were told "yes". Could
you please help us with the above information requested?

Thank You.
