Hopefully the shop doing this is familiar enough with MB to either have the tool or can install it as carefully as you. I'm not saying it's a requirement either, but it may make a difference, especially if they're not being careful enough. I've never seen an engine having any significant leak in this area either. Just a little dribble when replacing a lip seal, replaced the radial seal and no repeat concerns at all. If it's a case of a groove in the camshaft, then by all means just us a little different depth on the radial seal, either a little deeper or shallower so the seal doesn't run in the groove any more.
