Default cam seals diy?

Im putting in a new engine in my 98 A4 1.8t fwd and will be replacing the timing belt,water pump and a bunch of other things. Is there a diy anywhere for the cam seals? The seals came with my timing belt kit but I cant seem to find any info on how to replace. Any special tools? I've done a timing belt on a a4 2.8 before but i'm not sure how tough of a job it will be to do the seals.


Thanks

Bump - I think this is a very eazy thing to do once you are in there doing the TB, I don't think there are any special tools that are needed for this job. Can someone else verify

seals are easily fitted if you use a socket the same size as the seal and lightly tap it in "square" and a screw driver to hack the old one out
