I removed the seal carrier, buffed the crank with sandpaper, scraped the old gasget from the seal carrier, reinstalled the seal about 1/8" in from the outside of the seal carrier, measured the seal to make sure it's not in the carrier crooked, used rtv sealer on the bottom of the seal carrier where it meets the oil pan gasget and the corners where the oil pan gasget and carrier gasget meet, ran the smooth tip of a plastic cable tie under the lip of the seal and all the way around the crank to make sure the lip of the seal wasn't turned under. But other than that, nothing special....
