I will be replacing the breech seal on my HW50 as soon as it is delivered...Quick question: I know you are supposed to pry it out carefully with a small flat head screwdriver...When putting in the new one, should I lubricate it at all and, if so, with what? Thanks...

A thin coat of 100% silicone grease will ease it in. Do not use petroleum based products. Usually you can find silicone grease at hardware stores as waterproof plumbers grease (for lubing valve stems), or auto parts stores as light bulb socket grease, but read the labels and make sure.
