Jeep Repair: rear transmission seal, propeller shaft, slip yoke


Question
I am going to install the rear transmission seal on my 1996 jeep cherokee 6 cyl 4.0 rwd.  Do I tap the seal all the  way in till it no loner goes in or do I just tap it in till it is flush with the outer housing?  When I first had this seal replaced three years ago, it still had a small leak and I used it like that for three years. Recently it started leaking more so I took the seal out and ready to place it back.
