If these specific tools aren’t available, it’s entirely possible to correctly seat an oil seal in its housing using a hammer. Ideally, this hammer will be plastic or rubber due to it’s more forgiving nature. Using this and a strike plate that covers the entire seal will lend you accuracy while driving it in. The downside to this method is the inability to drive the seal any further than the strike plate will allow.
Variety of Oil Seals
The design of high-pressure oil seals is also critical to their performance. The seals must be able to maintain a tight fit between the moving parts, while also allowing for some flexibility to accommodate minor variations in the shaft or housing. This balance between rigidity and flexibility is essential for ensuring a reliable seal under high pressure conditions.
