Does anything besides the Cummins tool work for replacing the front main crank seal???

I bought a complete set of tools from the seller in the below link;
Front crank seal removal/install tool
Rear crank seal removal/install tool
Cam gear puller
Cam timing wedge & crank pin set

He is a machinist and the quality of the tools he makes is fantastic.
I contacted him via the email in the photos and we made a deal for all of the tools direct, no eBaY fees.

Thanks hammer! Too funny, that link goes directly to the same guy I just ordered from!

Hammer what kind of grease did you lube the seal with when you installed it?

I'm sure you'll be impressed with his quality, I am.

My favorite assembly lube...Vaseline!
Believe it or not, that all I've ever used when I've put my dragster motors together.
It's sticky to hold pieces in place while assembling, it's slippery and lubrictes sufficiently until the oil system is fully primed, and best of all, it evaporates with heat leaving no traces behind.
What could be better?

Thanks again Hammer! Vaseline it is, I have some sitting around for lubing under my nose when we are shooting paint! It does a good job trapping the paint before it makes it in!
