Changing ear seals
Bit of a stupid question, so apologies - my very old Bose x headset desperately needs some new ear cups/seals.
I’ve ordered some, but have no idea if they’re easy to fit or not. Is there an idiot-approved way to change them?

There are loads of videos available, this one covers the X as well:

It is based on a non-Bose earseal kit though, so I don't know if it will fit the situation.

They both use same size ear pads. Transair pilot shop sent mine by return.
