Navy Seals vs 1700 era England

This is a post i made on 2+2, thought i'd share it here:
So I've often thought of these sort of scenario's and i thought i would ask OOT what their thoughts are on this sort of subject. Let's assume you could send a highly trained seal team back in time to England in the year 1700 when they were a world powerhouse. They understand the times and the language. They are instructed to topple the government and install a different puppet ruler (let's assume that this is someone from our time period who is capable of pretending to be a current era noble). So just killing the ruler and causing chaos isn't enough, they need to cause a regime change that gets a selected person with no previous political fame elected. Therefore you can assume the following:
-Assume inability to communicate with superiors
-The seals will be resupplied with weapons, explosives and ammo
-The seals will not be given modern vehicles, biological weapons or more men
-Seals will be given vaccines before hand and have modern medical tools, however due to inability to communicate needs, will only receive standard resupplies
-They may train militia or troops to fight a war for them, but these people will not be given modern weapons
-The seal's will be briefed in era tactics and political climate
So the question is as follows: Do you believe the seals could take over the British Empire (the strongest country in the world at that time), how long would it take and how do you think the most effective way of achieving the goal of placing a puppet dictator in control would take?
