[alfa] V6 crank seals



So I'm planning on putting my spare engine in the car next week, and I'm going to try to make it not leak, so I bought new crank seals. Now I'm wondering what the recommended procedure is to install them. Every other oil seal I've ever dealt with didn't have a shaft running through it at the time of replacement, but I'm not going to remove the crank from this engine! My usual method of oil seal removal involves beating the &#$% out of it with a punch and prying it out with a huge screwdriver, but I don't want to beat up my crank so it doesn't seal, or worse, fails completely, '89 Miata style.

Thanks,
