Some seats are replaceable. Look inside the hole and see if there is
a slot in the ccurrent seat (interrupted by the hole through which the

only if it feels rough.

I don't know what I was thinking. Replaceable seats have a square
hole in the middle and use a tapered square tool to be removed. I"m
sure the tool is not expensive at all.

When I described the slotted part, I might have been thinking about
carburetor parts.

You can use a flat bladed screwdriver too, but it's doubtful that a standard
screwdriver would give you sufficient leverage to unmount the old seat. But
as for those angle shaped seat wrenches - they're 12 bucks for a dual seat
configuration (square and hex hole seat).
