Or just try it with that spray on Hylomar gasket sealer - stops the leaks and "might" give you a bit of lubrication for the twisting.

I thought the point of this tool was to give you a little bit more control over the positioning of the IP - I don't think lubrication is going to change much.

This special tool reminds me of a helper tool I have for adjusting belt tension on alternator belts. It is essentially an extendible stick that you wedge between the alternator and the engine block. There's a screw thread in the "stick" that makes it extend or contract.
