Some of my manuals say to soak overnight and then use a smooth shaft to roll or massage the seal lip for a while. This is supposed to make it supple and compliant to the seal surface on the yoke. I also highly recommend installing a wear sleeve on the yoke, if there's any sign of anything other than a perfectly smooth surface, whether you use a leather or a neoprene seal. Otherwise, you run a big risk of chewing up the new seal in short order.
