Sometimes you can loosen the bolt then slip the old one out and install new one. They are pretty durable if it from Hayward themselves. The only way it would tear if it was pinch somehow I must have pinched it when I replaced it! It was a Hayward gasket and it has a big rip in ti only about two years after I installed it. Should I grease it up too after I install it or no? Thanks for the help!

is there an easy way to replace the Diaphragm Gasket on a Hayward ec 65 de filter without having to remove all 16 little bolts? Also I changed this about 2 years ago and it ripped again. Did I install it wrong? Thanks in advance.
