After I saw your first post, I went to check the install tool with both Marlin's new seals and OEM seals, and have noticed the same thing. So how did you end up installing the Marlin's seals anyway - I assume you did not use the install tool the second time.
I used a brass punch to carefully tap the metal ring into place. I got it started with a flat end of a block of wood, and used the punch thereafter. Be careful not to bend the edges back, and be careful not to use the punch on the rubber part. If I had it to do over again, I would try the 1/2" drive socket route that FourBy4Toy mentioned in this thread.
