Socket, w/p coupler or pen cap can be used as a "tool".

Yep, either of those will work for you.

Me, I just used my dexterous fingers, LOL Only did it twice though; once when I was building my 388 and the second time when I did the cam/heads and valve train swap on my son's 96. Worked fine for me.

I made one out of marker cap and seemed to go on just fine. I looked the tool up at its like 55+ dollars from kent moore. Started her up and it wasnt leaking yet. we'll see after driving for awhile.
