    Seal presses in from the front side on a steel cover. Use a large socket or piece of pipe that is just slightly smaller than the O.D. of the seal to tap the seal in after putting a light film of Permatex Aviation goop around the O.D. of the seal. The open part of the seal (usually with a spring on it) goes to the oily side of the motor. I usually try to place a short length of tubing behind the seal hole that is slightly larger in o.d. than the seal hole to support the sheet metal and not bend it up.
