Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed generally to firewall seals for sealing pass-through members extending through a firewall, such as a firewall of a turbine engine. In one example aspect, the firewall seal includes quick-connect features that facilitate more efficient assembly and disassembly of the firewall seal to and from the pass-through member. Particularly, the firewall seal may define a slit extending through at least a portion of the seal that allows for the pass-through member to be slid through the slit and positioned in place. A retainer formed of an elastomeric material may include a metal spring plate that springs the seal back into place after the pass-through member is positioned within the seal. Moreover, a spherical bearing of the firewall seal may include features for receiving a static or dynamic pass-through member therethrough and for allowing the pass-through member to translate and rotate.
