rear seal removal was a breeze!!!!!

I thought this was going to be real hard to get out. but I was able to take off the rear seal cap and remove the rear mian seal from this motor very easy. I found a nut driver that was the same diameter as the seal. So what I did was hit a few times real soft with my rubber mallet. The bearing that was inside the motor after removing the cap jsut came right out!!!!!!
Now I hope when o go to put in the new one, it is just as easy. Should I lube the seal before trying to push it into the bearing seat?

This is on a Slant6 225/3.7L motor. helps when the motor is out of the car and on an engine stand upside down. lol.
