I cut the felt gasket and start to pull it off. Some of it comes off really easily because the glue it brittle and old and just falls off. And some of it is stuck real well and the felt tears apart with a lot of it still adhering to the drum.

So I scrape away at any felt that adheres to the drum. I need a pretty clean surface for the new gasket and glue.

And then I switch to sand paper because I think it might be easier.

Finally I vacuum it clean so the glue will stick.
