Trouble installing valve seals

Has anyone had trouble installing valve seals on any truck I was installing mine and I was hitting down with a deep socket and the rubber piece started to tear. Any special tools to help install these

Place valve seal on guide. Use rubber hammer to gently tap it on. Take care to not crush the spring that makes the seal a seal. Once it bottoms out stop tapping. It doesn't go far.
