I found a screwdriver works much better than the seal tool. You can slowly work it in from the screwdriver pushing only on the metal portion of the seal, and you don't have to push that hard to drive the CTIS seals in
1/4 socket extension or a large flat blade screwdriver works just fine. I've done 4 trucks worth that way. No leaks. Just use your brain and be careful. Seal drivers for this application are only for when you are going to rely on 18 y/o kids to install them and every problem is a nail because they only know how to use a BFH.

Thank you. We'll be doing the fronts and it helps to see your experience.

One question on the rears: I didn't see any RTV in the half moons? Did I miss it? You are definitely cleaner than I am while working–
