Do you use emory cloth type grit ??
And is this to get a little worked up surface for the seal to grab on to??
Yeah, I always take a little sandpaper to the crank when I change an RMS.

Sweet thanks guys .. You think it would make my life easier if I get a small Transmission jack? I probably will be doing it by myself here :]
great post and a special thanks to ADAM for posting the pictures, alongwith some great helpful tips added form others. I have yet to have to do this yet although I probably should. Everytime I'm under the car I see a bit of of seepage that looks to be coming from the RMS. Which would make sense as I am running a pretty stout boosted setup, while utilizing only the small breather from the oil fill neck venting it to the atmosphere.
I have one question though to ask REVHEAD. He stated that you don't have to pull the whole trans and bellhousing out together in one piece. But if you are strong enough to do so, like ADAM, is there any benefit of taking them out seperately? For instance I noticed in ADAM'S pic, that he did have the clutch unit all apart, but when taking it out in one piece is it possible to keep the clutch/pressure plate/and throw-out bearing all together on the input shaft? Thanks
When replacing the seal, can I add anything like rubber gasket maker on the inside diameter of the seal (where it should make contact with the crank shaft?
I'm thinking that with only 10 miles on the build that unless the RMS was damaged that's not the source of the oil leak. I wouldn't be surprised if it is leaking at the rear intake to block interface. Keep us posted.
