Soak the seal in oil and roll it out on a piece of plate glass until it "grows" about 3/4". Then grab only the first 1/2" or a little more with the Chinese handcuff of the sneaky Pete tool and be sure to use the small guide piece at the block to prevent the edge of the seal groove from cutting into the seal. Roll the crankshaft as you pull the seal into place, then pack it into the groove with a blunt-tipped punch ground to the approximate shape of the seal groove. Cut the ends of the seal off flush with the block with a razor blade or a box cutter, being careful NOT to scar the surface of the crankshaft.
