rear main seal replacement.
well im using this site ... http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearMain.htm...... and where it says.
"""Make sure you keep a finger hard against the seal where it goes into the block pushing across it. If you don't you can damage the seal as it will try to bend outwards and nick the outside of the seal. I could not take a picture of doing this as was on my own. If with some one you can get them to rotate the crank by using a breaker bar on the harmonic pulley retaining bolt while pushing the seal into place. Stop when the ends are level. """
what does that mean?? since im doing it solo.. whats it mean to do with my finger?

Another words, make sure you control it going in. Prep it with oil as stated.
