They are probably fine, I just use a piece of one of the pads I get at the local auto paint supply store. Just wipe the crank down to remove any residual abrasive tidbits before installing.

Safe to assume you have read this in the FAQ's?

I install my seals with a piece of PVC. The side against the seal is plane so it sits flush all the way around. I had to cut a section out of it and compress it to the correct diameter. I find the rear main seals to be the most difficult to install, I think it is because as the seal diameter increases it becomes more difficult to get it started into place. It is real easy to get one started in crooked. Go slow and good luck.
