tapping in rear main seal

Service manual recommends a special tool to install it, I was wondering if a rubber mallet would work?

TIA

A rubber mallet will do just fine. It takes a real idiot to ruin a rear main seal when pressing it in.

get a seal puller or a small pin punch and a hammer and punch a hole in the metal part of the seal and pry it out.

make sure you install it all the way otherwise it will rub the flywheel and tear
