I tapped my crankshaft seal in with a drift, lots of oil on all parts so it eases in.

I always do put lots of oil on but I've also heard that some types of seal have graphite impregnated into them and are designed to go on dry with the first few turns of the crank bedding it in. Interestingly VIDA doesn't mention any lubrication prior to inserting which just feels wrong to me.
So unless anyone tells me otherwise it's plenty of oil !!
