273 Front Main Seal Question

I can see the seal. It's the 1/4" ring between the balancer opening and the timing cover. You need a drift punch and a hammer. The new seal should be flanged like the old one and only goes in one way from the backside. A 2x2 block of wood and a hammer works well. Get it started and work your way back and forth.
Looks like part of the casting to me? I'm afraid to beat on that...
