That's not necessary. Other folks can weigh in here better than me, but you definitely don't need an arbor press. Remember these seals were/are replaced in-the-car regularly, even (and especially) "back in the day". You basically just need to "roll it" with a socket or something before you install the crank.

Here's a video, I did something very similar to this:

Installing a Rope Rear Main Seal.

I am sure someone else on this forum has even better instructions/suggestions than this.
