To install the seal........I have much better success "Pressing" the seal in using my vice. I have damaged seals trying to line it up and tapping it in. If I remember correctly, a piece of 1.5" dia. PVC pipe fits just right to use it to "tap" the seal in.....but I mess them up too often.

I have sockets and phenolic stock that work well for setting seals... Deadblow mallets and patience are the key...
A little RTV helps "lube" em' up on the way in and keeps them in place once it dries...
At least I'm not missing out on any fishing this morning !
