Pull the shaft out, use a screwdriver and pry the seal out.
Lightly grease the outside of the seal, stick it on, and find either some PVC pipe or metal can or something to tap it in equally. I made my own tool with a large diameter washer that matched the outer diameter of the seal, and one that matched the inner diameter and fastened them together on a bolt. Used a hammer and slid it in!

Just get something as close as possible. I used another nut on the other side to secure everything BTW.
I got all the parts at OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) I think you guys have them up there in Chico...

Turn on engine, run to operating temp, pull off PCV hose and slowly have it suck the seafoam into the crankcase...I use 1/3 to 1/2 bottle. Turn off engine for a while (I do it for an hour) then start up. Make sure you're clear of people because the smoke is pretty gnarly and don't want to inhale it.
The PVC hose is right next to the passenger side, front spark plug. It has a white plastic part which is attached to the top of the head, and the hose itself has a wire hose clamp that you pinch with your fingers to release.
Nevermind here's a pic.

Cool!
I can feel an immediate difference in throttle response and overall engine performance with the Seafoam...and I'm pretty sure I'm not just imagining it either.
