Just pound it in equally all around till its flush. I used a semi truck seal installer but its nothing more then a flat round piece of metal.

I use a large socket. Just make sure it goes in evenly and when it stops, you're done.

nah, just drive her in till she stops; there's a ridge on the plate that it fits into that stops it from going further than it's suppose to
