Re: 92 wrangler 4.0 front crank oil seal
I have only done them with the timing cover off. I used a hammer on a
block of wood to tap it in, then put the cover on and tightened the
timing cover down so the seal was centered.
Trying to get one on straight with the cover in place would need a piece
of pipe or something to get an even pressure. Or I guess a hole in a
2x4 so it will slip over the crank nose.
If you tap the seal in one side at a time it will likely warp and never
hold for long.

Re: 92 wrangler 4.0 front crank oil seal
Thanks Mike!
I figured out that the metal retaining ring from the original stock oil seal had bonded itself to the timing cover. I thought it was part of the cover. I was able to pry it out once I realized, with the help of some other Jeep guys, that it was not permanent.
The new oil seal went it very easily. I hammered it in place evenly using a 2" piece of muffler pipe. I will now work on installing the gaskets and replacing the cover.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Doug,
Remember the seal is used to center the cover, use your dampener
pulley as the tool, pictured: http://www.----------.com/fOilSeal.jpg
