Abstract
An apparatus for inserting a seal member into a seal groove includes a tray. The tray includes a holding groove formed in a front surface for containing the seal member. The holding groove is sized and shaped to correspond with the seal groove. A method of installing a seal member into a seal groove includes aligning the holding groove with the seal groove, and applying a pressure to a back surface of the tray, thereby deforming the tray and inserting the seal member into the seal groove.
