Can someone please tell me the best way to install a grease seal into the rear hub ?

The best way is with a press. If you don't have one and the seal is too large to go in, some people have been sanding the edge of the seal till it will go in with a hammer. If you use a piece of wood large enough to cover the seal, you will run less of a risk of damaging it.

I took a piece of PVC pipe, ground down the OD till it matched the OD of the seal and tapped it right in. Worked very well.
