F53 Brake Advice
I am looking to replace the brake system on our 1996 Dolphin 535 (Ford F53), as the pads are worn and have begun to gouge the rear rotors. Not to mention the entire system is old, so I want to replace...

Ok, so a bit of advice still needed....
I've got the old bolt out and have a new metal brake line with a bending tool. I've got a grease gun, new tube of grease and a bearing grease tool to attach to the gun. I also have new seals ($30 each). My question is regarding the seals. The guy at Napa thought I was dumb for getting new ones and said just don't take the rear bearing out and you won't have to replace the seals, but I figure why not for $30 more make sure it's all done right.
Question is, the book shows a special tool for putting the seal back in... can I get away without using this tool? Is there another way to put the seal in without messing it up?
Thanks for all the help/suggestions everyone.
