I got the seal installed tonight. One trick that's important to fit the seal is to gently push it over the round end of the installation tool to size it to the compressor shaft. Out of the bag the ID is quite a bit smaller and it's impossible to install it without damaging. I learned this the hard way because like an idiot, I worked the first seal I got through the blunt end of the seal install tool which has a sharp-ish edge and messes up the seal. Fortunately these seals are cheap and the second one went on with no issue.

The kit contained a tool to drive in the seal which didn't take much effort at all. Afterwards, I got hasty and went to reinstall the clutch without the proper tool and ruined the bearing. So now I have to pull it back off and replace the bearing or get a new clutch. D'oh.
