Agree with Doc ... In a pinch .. You can take the seal to local muffler shop and have a piece of tail pipe stock swedged to fit the seal to use as a seal driving tool.. Just saying.

Thank you very much!

Be sure to lube the INNER 'rubber seal lip' before installing, a little grease works well... Also make sure balancer hub where seal runs is clean & in good shape!

No, The seal must be installed by itself before the balancer can be put on'
