Ford golden jubilee rear main seal issue

Got a 53 jubilee running after sitting for 10 years, rear main seal leaked some 10 years ago but leaking much worse now with the dried up seal. I had to replace the clutch anyway so figured I'd do the rear seal. I loosened the 2 main bearings and had a heck of a time getting the old rope seal out but finally got it and ran a wire brush through the grooves and nothing coming out. Got a new felpro neoprene seal part number 6141-3 install the seal and as soon as I tighten the bolts on the rear cap the crankshaft won't move. Anyone else run into this and what I should look at for an issue?
