If the timing cover bore it loads into has any scratches in it , or the metal OD of the seal has no rubber like coating on it then I always apply a film of sealer so no unwanted oil migrated out that way ,
And yes, you should be driving it in with a big ass socket that neatly fits to the OD of the seals case , or a good sized flat section of a 2x4 or such .
If you hammer it in by rocking it
without being extremely careful you can egg shape the whole seal and then your back where you left off with the leaky old seal!
