You want to drive the seats in straight without damaging the machined sealing surface. Try them first, sometimes they fit tightly, other times you can press them in by hand. Depending on how tightly they fit, you might be able to to tap them in using just a wood dowel as the driver.
Thank you Sir. I better just get the tool.
