Hi Rich, No, I did not replace mine they were in decent condition so left them alone. If they are not falling apart and still semi pliable I would not replace them myself. I you can compress them and they go back in shape they are probably good. If you want to replace I have heard you can find "O" rings sometimes at home depot that are close enough. Also, if you cant find any you think is close enough I might have some on the donor chassis I have but of course those would be older used ones too. But if yours are falling apart these are probably in better condition.
