It fits together like this - tool on the bottom, bushing sitting in it, and the seal around the bushing

Fitting it to the engine. There is a precise relationship between the bushing and the seal. The tool is machined to just the right depth so that when the bushing bottoms out on the crank, the seal is pushed in to the correct depth.

Done. Very pleased with how this worked You can see how tight the outer lip is on the bushing.

Is that a tool that you bought somewhere or one that you made?
