The tool now carrying the seal is then moved towards the flange and turned through approximately 90.degree. so that two contra-rotatable rollers engage the sides of the strip on the flange and another roller engages the base of the strip. The rollers engaging the sides of the are then energized so that the tool drives around the flange, forcing the strip into position.
