What do you all use to install the camshaft seal and front crank seal when you guys do a timing belt job?

I use a lisle tool to remove the seal
and put motor oil on the seal and using a a section of pvc pipe or a large deep socket tap it into place.

Thank you, I am gearing up for the job and wanted to have everything needed on hand.

I used the Lisle tool to pull the seals out and a specialty tool kit to drive them in. The specialty kit is pricey but I wanted to share another option if you're into buying tools. I link the kit in the video description. Hope you find the videos helpful. Be sure to read the video descriptions and pinned comments for more information and helpful tips.
