Are you using a seal driver or just a hammer?

as long as your shure you have the right seal put the seal in the freezer and put a work lamp on the pinion for 15-30 min.
if the pinion is still in the case use a scrap 2x4 and get it started at 3 and 9 O clock positions then move to 12 and 6 till its not going to come out then work your way around to finish seating the seal.
if the pinion is not in the case then use a seal driver, large socket or flat 2x4 if the seal does not protrude above the flange ends.

Thanks,,
I thought about the freezer, but it's about 8 degrees outside now,,
I've tried an old throw-out bearing as a driver, and a 2x4 with a 2" hole drilled in it.
I'm now going to check the seal closer. It's a napa and it has a gasket type ring around middle of the seal,,I've never seen one with this before,,

This was the most expensive seal I've ever bought,,$28.49....

Well, that's the right seal. I'd say just keep at it. Try the heating the housing/freezing the seal part. Once it gets started, it's easy peasy.
