The seal should be pressed in until it bottoms on the gasket underneath it. If it is out too far, the pinion yoke will drag on it. Use a piece of pipe to tap the seal home if the t-case is assembled.

You can use a piece of pipe to squarely tap in this bearing race also. Be aware that the shaft end play is adjusted by the shim stack that is underneath the speedometer pinion housing. I try to get one to two thousandths of an inch preload on tapered roller bearings in this type of application.
