Yeah, a lot of reviews there saying the taper is too steep and it's pushing the seal out of the groove.
Hopefully success with a better tool.
Another idea I had was heating the tool to maybe 200-250 degrees to get the "O" shape to expand slightly. May buy you a small fraction of room. Don't want to go much hotter than operating temp for the engine. Then cooling may help it compress.
Any way you do it, going slow seems to be key.
