Any tips for installing LA timing cover seal?

Advance auto has tools for rent or use and I’m assuming so do other parts stores. Why risk destroying a bunch of seals or worse yet your cover? Or maybe just not getting it in right and it leaks. Call around till you find the right tool. Remember being a hammer mechanic or having one work on your car sucks. When installing the cover snug bolts so cover is just a little loose, install harmonic balancer and then tighten the bolts. This will center the seal around the balancer.
