Rear Main Seal Replacement Guide?

I'm needing to replace the rear main seal in my replacement engine. I have the back plate off the old engine(new motor was off a standard truck). Is there a how to before I get the seal out and possibly miss something I shouldn't have?
I'm sure its not a hard task, just don't want to try something if Cheezit or others have a quicker better way of pulling and replacing the seal without damaging the new one.

I have searched but didn't see a guide or walk through.

there is a seal installer. I do them with the read cover on the engine, using the correct tool.
