How hard is it to change this seal? Any special tools required? Any tips appreciated.
 

It is a B**** to do. Getting it out is harder than getting in. You'll mess up the junk seal taking it out, but don't worry as long as you don't harm anything surrounding it. I made a plastic punch in the dimensions of the seal and it went in easy. Make sure you bleed the air out of coolant system. 10MM bolt on top of head where coolant intake is. Just crack it a little bit and the air will poor out. It took me 10 times on my wifes sxr 600. I just kept on doing it as lons as the red light came on. Good Luck hope it helps.
