Timing Belt Messup - How to Correct? 200 1991

The crankshaft seal "blew" on my 1991 Volvo 240 yesterday. I am half-way thru the replacement, but ran into two major issues:

1 - How far in should the crankshaft seal be pushed in? I used a huge socket to tap it all the way into the housing, until it hit a "wall". Now there seems to be a gap around the edge of the seal, and I am worried that oil will leak out again. Did I push it too far onto the shaft? Should I have stopped when the seal was flush with the shaft opening?

2 - During timing belt removal, I moved the crank and intermediate shaft pulleys. Now I cannot re-align all timing marks. When the distributor/rotor is pointed to the mark for Plug #1, the intermediate shaft sprocket is 90-degrees(?) off it's mark. How can I get all pulleys back in alignment?
