There are two methods of replacing the oil seal depending on weather the oil pump cover is assembled to the engine or not.
If the oil pump is not installed to the timing chain case, use a flatbladed tool and rag to pry the old seal out. Apply multipurpose grease to the new oil seal lip. Using a seal installer, tap the seal into place.

If the oil pump is installed on the timing chain case, use a knife to cut off the lip of the seal and pry it out. Check the oil seal lip contact surface of the crankshaft for cracks or damage. Apply multi-purpose grease to the new oil seal lip. Using a seal installer, drive the new seal flush against the cover edge.
