20RJ65B Hotpoint Range - Overview

The oven is 70 years old and used several times a week so getting it to come apart wasn't working.
Used a light oil and some thinner to work loose the old seal, which was stuck pretty good, removed it by lightly prying the seal lip wider and pulling it out, mostly piece by piece. The worked in the new one and became of the light ... Read more oil, it went in rather easy. Had to trim an inch or so from each end and wiped down and cleaned up. No more problems....

Used a putty knife and dental pick to remove old gasket remnants and installed new gasket with putty knife and thumb pressure
