Thanks BR3W. Do I need to use a tool? Or can I install it without it?

As long as you don't take the rear cover off, you won't need the alignment tool. If you do take the rear cover off then the tool is needed to align it up since it has no aligning tabs made onto it. The tool does make it easier to install the new seal though.
