had the same problem, make sure you use the pen cap method as you need to get it over the waterpump input shaft without tearing it. Here is a good writeup link that will help:

Well the good news is i got my waterpump and opti seal on good but my crank seal is leaking and i even thought i had that on really good. any sugestions ?

 

As long as you have no grooves on the hub that could cause it to leak, the seal must be put on straight and flat the whole way. If you don't do it this way, it can bend. If it gets bent, it will leak. It should also be installed fully into the cover.
