When installing mechanical seal, should it just push into case, or be tapped in with a socket. Mine seems real tight, don't wanna wreck it. I'm thinking it's like a grease seal, needs to be tapped in?
I know getting the old one out was a bastard, had to deform it with a screwdriver/hammer to get it out...did not wanna come out, but I got it.
Thanks for any help.

Large enough washer to cover outside diameter of seal then slowly and evenly tap in the seal making sure you do not push on the sealing lip.
