Question about installing front cover seal

[HAWAIIZR-1]

I was wondering if anyone has experience installing a new front cover seal that might have close up photos or could confirm how far in the seal should be?

It seemed simple enough using the Kent Moore tool J-37309 and after placing the seal on the installed cover, place the tool over crankshaft evenly and tighten to press in like you would to install torsional damper. I though you are supposed to tighten until the tool butts up to the front cover.

The first problem it that was it was very tight and difficult to take off the tool so I was worried and panicked. When I finally got the tool off it appears the seal is pushed in too much and I don't remember how far it was in originally.





Here is the front side and somehow I thought maybe it should be at the edge where the taper levels off.



Here is the back side installed and flush with the cover.

So it seems okay and maybe I did this right. My only reason for second guessing is because the tool was very difficult to get off like I pressed it on too much. I usually take good photos of everything before taking off anything but did not in this case.

Thanks in advance.
