There's also an oil rail that has to be removed before you can access the cam caps. Remove the last cam cap. Clean up the oil then install your new cam cap.
Permatex worked for me.

is this oil rail hard to remove? am i going to mess anything up by just taking off the last cam cap and not the whole cam? is a cam seal from advanced auto parts going to not be as good as one from honda?

 

Golden eagle

or

the Passwordjdm.com one looks nice.

 

I've had an STR for years and it's been great.

To remove the oil rail ALL cam cap bolts need to be removed, then you can take off the last cam cap. It seems to me that you have never done this before. Make sure to get a Helms or equivelant manual to make sure you torque the bolts to the right amount and in the correct pattern. If your replacing the seal on the dizzy side you'll just need to remove the cap, the oil rail isn't attached to the last one. Good luck.
