Getting it out was harder than I expected. The oil seal rubber was firmly seated to the engine metal and would not budge. You need a proper oil seal removal tool. The one that looks like a two headed axe. Installing is also a bit tricky as the new glass window is more fragile. I used a standard socket the same size as the out diameter of the seal and carefully pushed it into its seating position. The darn seal kept popping out at first. After seating well I gave the socket a good whack with a hammer and quickly put in the fastening clip. As recommended by the manual I put a thin layer of RTV around the seal. Started her up to check for oil leaks and thats it.
