I forget who had it... but, someone did up a "how to" for making the seal driver from some PVC pipe scraps from the plumbing dept.  Let's see if someone sounds off with that little jewel.

Yep, that is what I used.    Wink  You don't need no stinkin' expensive Honda tool. coolsmiley
The main thing is to get the oil seals installed with the correct end pressed into the tube.  Those seals will leak like crazy if you put them in backwards.  A few of us have first hand experience. uglystupid2
