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.
