Nothing expensive. I just did mine. I drilled a small hole in the old seal, screwed in a drywall screw in and pulled it out with pliers. To install it, I used a short piece of pvc pipe and the crank bolt and washer. Just turn in the bolt and it presses in squarely. Dont forget to lube the seal lip with MP grease. Same for the camshafts. I put a cut down the side of the pipe so it could open a bit over the cam and crank snout. The zip tie keeps it tight on the shaft.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!
