Borrow Spring Compressor Tool

Sorry if this is answered somewhere already. I couldn't find any definitive answer. I've got a new set of wipe seals for my front diff. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a way to get these pressed into the retaining ring. They seem impossibly big. The repair manual says the seal and ring are ...
