Dont think you need any special tools. When I did my rear main seal I removed the rear cover, pried the seal out and used the 4" sewer cap to press the new one in place. RTV where the rear cover/oil pan meat and re-install dat **** .

I think you will find more info in the transmission rooms. I changed my rear main seal in november. Didn't take off the rear cover, just pried the old one out and gently slid the new one in. Used a flat head screw driver to gently tap it in around the edge. I installed it dry per the recommendation of an engine bulder near me.
