Went to the dealer, he would not honor the problem. He had supplied the seals etc, claimed they were old, but came from his stock. Seals looked like they had been driven in with a screw driver. Sent a letter to mother Honda, with pictures of the seals and a copy of the receipt for the work they did. Amazing, they refunded the whole amount, and also got a gift certificate for $100 good at any Honda dealer. I replaced the seals my self, so far so good, at least I used a driver tool.
Here is what the seals looked like when I pulled them.
