if you are talking about the crank seal, i use a soft face hammer or rubber mallet to start the seal then i place a piece of wood over the seal and give it a few good wacksin the center to finish until the seal is flush

i generally have to pull the cover to do this, that way its easy to center and keep center on the retorque and cake to do the actual seal install ibn the cover without damaging it.


its a huge pia but nets a good leak free seal.
