I use a small hammer to tap the seals in.. takes 3-5 min. max.
I have never used the factory tool or the PVC?? Am I missing something? We have literally done 100's this way since 04 or so.

The biggest reason for the PTFE seal to leak is improper installation (wrong depth, but more commonly uneven depth due to the seal not going in straight. Second is the seal or crank not being perfectly clean.). With the latest Porsche tool, it is impossible to not get it in straight or set at the wrong depth. But $500 is a bit much for a one time DIY project, so we have seen several done with the CPVC coupler, and they all worked perfectly.
