Looking for Input on rear main seal installation. Any tools available for install? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Fudged my rear seal install ever so slightly so I ordered another one. Was Tapping it into the cover with a wood block but looks like I needed to limit how far one side goes into the cover as the opposite side was not inside ever so slightly and it bent the seal as I tapped. Live and learn I think I expected it to go in much easier.

Wanted to ask if others wanted to share what methods they used to install theirs? I’ve had several ideas including putting the cover on the block and using a universal tool to tighten the seal in using the flywheel bolts etc. I searched and there aren’t many threads on the topic so I thought I would make a thread.

Are there any tools available that anyone knows of ?
