The Knuckle Seal requires a tool to drive it in (otherwise easily damaged) that you can easily make -> Ford Super Duty Knuckle Seal Tool - AKA OTC 6695 | Superdutypsd.com

Also there's a specific order to all those washers -> Welcome to guzzle's 4x4 Needle Bearing Maintenance Web Page

Alright I got the axle vacuum hub seal, now the knuckle seems to be a little too big, just a hair, am I supposed to hammer it in?

It's suppose to fit tight. You can make the tool like in the link NoRalPh posted or if you have a dealership or shop near you, they might let you borrow it if they have one. This is what the seal driver looks like.
