front bearing seals

[bumpinkicker04]

I have an 01 mountaineer I started having a problem with a squealing noise between 10-40 mph. I found a service bulletin for it that called for replacing (i think it is called the front inner excludor seal?). It is the seal that is pressed on the front axle that goes right behind the bearing assembly. The part number is YL2Z3K070AA. What i am wondering is there a tool that I can buy or rent for cheap to press that seal on or do I have to take it to the machine shop? Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Thanks in advance ofr any input or advice.

Mine were replaced under warranty a long, long time ago, so I can't help much with the repair process. I can tell you that the new seals haven't squealed since.
