Yep thats right, the lugs were removed completely and as we found out that the back cover had bowed up slightly at the ends through whatever stresses and strains its had throughout its life it was skimmed completely flat.

A very small amount of sealent was needed then, i literally only used half a tube for both covers whereas it had taken 3 tubes previously to fill the gap left by the lugs- which didnt seal it first time.
