Saved the lives of two Fuji 645s and a Mamiya TLR I bought a light seals kit from the seller Derby suggests (interslice). It comes with clear instructions, and you can download some camera-specific instructions from his web site. I am not a handyman at all, but I could replace the light seals and the foam in the mirror chamber of my two MX bodies with no problems whatsoever. A kit is enough to change the light seals in at least 4 or 5 bodies, in my experience.
