ABSTRACT:
An adjustable tool to reliably retain and accurately align annular seals of varying diameter for installation in a hub, housing, or similar component, at an axle or shaft of a motor vehicle. The tool includes a drive dish upon which a seal is received and to which an impact force is applying by way of an elongated handle, so as to cause the seal to be installed. The tool also includes a seal retaining assembly to be moved radially over the drive dish and into engagement with the seal so that said seal is centered and retained on the tool to facilitate installation.
