I tried using a few small shims to push the gasket out but it isn’t working really well. Is there any thing else I can do to fix these gaskets instead of just buying them? some way to recondition them? anything else, as I don’t want to spend $150 on 2 gaskets?

Before doing this, make sure the bottom of the gaskets are not busted up with the magnetic strip falling out.
