Hi,

Check out the 700/900 FAQ on here for additional info.

When I did the crankshaft oil seal a few months back (it was leaking) I used a B230F crankshaft oil seal tool that I picked up on ebay previously. It was about $36. IMO it pays for itself the first time as there was no re-do. I used one of the regular orange Elring seals. I did not remove the carrier, therefore no gasket replacement.

I think there is info in the FAQ about making a tool out of PVC pipe which you could do. Either way make sure you clean everything and lightly lube the seal. You'll probably have more trouble removing the seal than anything else-putting screws into the old seal as stated in the FAQ works well.
