Replacing rear main seal on SR?

Not real sure how to go about doing it. Someone told me that you just take something like a hook and pull the seal out and then just put the new one in but that sounds too simple to me.

thats pretty much it. you can buy a seal puller from advance for like 10 bucks. look in the rebuilding motor thread hijacker shows a pic of one.

Or just carefully use a small flathead screwdriver, and save a few bucks.

So that really is all there is to it? Is there any way to know that it's seated in there correctly or anything?

My DIY rebuild thread has how to remove/install the seal. But it has an inner lip that the seal should seat to.
