    I agree, very difficult to do both, verify its presence, and properly seat a new one….I think the easiest way to install a new one is to mount it on the needle and gently thread both items in place together.
    There is no special tool for removal, most just sharpen/bend the end of stiff wire (such as control cable core wire) to snag the bushing/seal and pull it out….
    Am hoping everyone here will come up with some slick ideas to verify its positioning/install/remove it….
    I’m thinking the best way of knowing if it is in place/properly positioned is if you have difficullty trying to thread the needle in, or the engine idles lean no matter how far out the needle is set….
