Oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals or lip seals, are a specific type of gasket designed to prevent the leakage of oil or other fluids in rotating shafts. 

For bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE polymers, calcium hydroxide level should be low and magnesium oxide level should be high to promote adhesion to metal inserts. Thermal black or mineral fillers generally give good adhesion.³ For most adhesive systems, it is necessary to limit postcure temperatures to about 200°C (392°F).³

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.
