1a) be sure to mark the flywheel position in relation to the
crankshaft as it has been balanced that way
2)No, the "special" tool does not need to be used. I used to use my fingers to press it in, but a round homemade wooden press toll could be used. Just be sure to keep it the proper distance from the front flange(the workshop manual has the distance) or the front of the seal will NOT be on the flange for oil sealing.
***VERY IMPORTANT; WHEN INSTALLING THE HOUSING WITH THE SEAL IN IT, MAKE SURE THE "FINGERS" FROM THE OIL SLINGER ARE NOT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TWO MATING SURFACES--ESPECIALLY THE FINGER AT 5 O'CLOCK.
3)the 6 flywheel bolt MUST have some sealant on them(I use Permatex #2 on the threads) as they go directly into the oil return galley
4)Permatex #2, #3, or #98 are fine for the gasket; DO NOT USE SILICONE
5)the flywheel should be resurfaced at a machine shop
