crank seal

Heavy Maintenance Manual

section 72.00.00  parag. 3.4     ignition housing

''  Check the shaft seal (13) 32x52x7 for the crankshaft, if necessary, press new
shaft seal into the block with an insertion jig, part no. 877270.''

Does any sealant go on the seal first?

I saw the page you reference but  I see no instructions, torques  or supplies?

The seal is PRESSED in!
It will seal itself.

If you do not have the purpose-made jig, you can often get away with using an appropriately sized socket wrench.
You need to press it in, NOT Beat it in!

So no grease just press it in dry? Not sure how to get a press in there but we will figure out something.

You asked about SEALANTs not LUBRICANTs.
By all means, Lube it!
You can usually find a Socket that is slightly smaller than the seal to use as a mandrel to press in the seal.
The idea is to apply even pressure to the perimeter of the seal and not distort t in the process.
Tapping the Mandrel with a mallet is OK.
Using a flat punch and tapping at multiple locations around the perimeter of the seal will distort the seal's body and is not recommended.
