Is there a way or product that has been tried that will soften up old crank seals? I have run in to a couple of leaky seals on old saws that parts are really hard to find. Seals seem intact(not cracked), just stiff and dry from years of sitting. Could they be immersed in a solution to make them a little more pliable? I understand that this isn't the right way to do the job, but for a collector who just wants to get the saw running for occasional use, is there any hope??
