I've installed many, I  promise my way works. Which probably isn't much different than the manual.

Yes, your way is essentially the same as in the manual.

"Soak in oil" refers to the old rope seals. They could tear on installation, and would leak if an engine sat too long.
Pete's instructions are perfect for a two piece seal!
