I bought this thing and it works perfectly for both the bushing and the for seal. Price 20€.
If you don't want to mess with PVC pipes anymore, I would recomend it.

Since it is basically a piece of metal, I think it will outlive us and probably our children.
But yeah, two light strokes and the bushing is in, two more and the seal is in.  :good:

I would hope so Ray, I got 135k out of the last set, that would just about make them single use.   :biggrin:
