You're most welcome. Just a tip on the install,
On the clutch side there is a 90 deg step that the seal must go over and it is very easy to damage the seal going over this step. There are lots of different home made tools but I take a piece of 1/2" copper plumbing pipe and cut one end with a hacksaw and the other with a tubing cutter.
Clean off all burrs and put the saw cut end against the step on the crankshaft and slide the seal over the tube cut end which is curled down. If you don't have a tubing cutter you can sand a chamfer on that end.
The seal can go on the pipe before you place it on the the crank. don't forget to grease the tube.
This will allow the seal to ride right over the step with no damage.

One of the other methods that I have used is piece from a aluminum soda can.    Good info there Tim.
