It's mentioned in the Student Reference Book. Under special tools at the back of the book. It is a sleeve which is used with the seal installation tool.
Using RTV seems totally unnecessary and it would be a swine to remove the seal again. The manual even says wipe of all oil when installing it. Follow the book and add nothing to the instructions.
These seals have to go to the correct depth, and go in square to the bore or you may end up doing it again. The tool and the bolt set it to the correct depth. If you haven't got the correct tools measure the depth of the old one before you take it out.
Its not brain surgery but it must not be damaged on the inside or outside diameters.
