Sailhog,
If you look closely at a seal... take a second to look at the rubber ring. Without prying it look closely at the sealing lip and there is a spring there that goes around and helps it hold it's shape and contour....when they talk about a spring in the seal itself that's it. It holds the seal tight in over a shaft. I've never done one of those but should be very easy to see.....but the ring is in the rubber.
