Replacing the radial shaft seal.

To replace the radial shaft seal without removing the top timing cover my manual says that I need to use the insertion sleeve tool. My question is can I improvise and use something else?

I'm sorry. It's a '91 300 CE. It's the exhaust cam seal.

to install that seal w/o tool you must be very careful not to damage the inner lip as you move the seal over the end of the camshaft.

Youmight be able to use some thin shim stock: form it into a cylinder and use it to slide the seal over the shaft. In genreal this often works.
