	Would vasoline be a good lubricant to help install new rubber seals?

Silicone lube is good for lubrication. Soap solution makes a good temporary lube where you want to pass rubber thru channels during installation, but don't want it to stay readily movable later.

	I'll second that. I use silicone spray lube and the difference is like night and day when I've tried slipping in/on rubber seals.

	Gas for fuel injection seals. I happen to use AmourAll for some rubber stuff even though ArmourAll/silicone is really not good for rubber. A little won't kill the seal.
