Actually the socket trick works really well, I HAVE the right tool and still 
use a socket most of the time. Be very very gentile when installing the 
seals (especially if you got the teflon ones), you can damage them with very 
little effort. Use a smaaaaalll hammer to tap the socket down lightly. When 
it feels like it's home STOP, do not do a "seating" hit, they will break.
