A tool for inserting an H-Seal into a bearing, the H-Seal having two upper lips, two lower lips and a vertical flange positioned therebetween that connects the upper and lower lips together, the bearing having inner and outer rings and a gap therebetween, the tool comprising:

• a vertical part assembly having a top portion, a bottom portion, and a freely rolling disc, the top portion having right and left side portions,
• a first interconnecting portion configured to engage a second interconnecting portion, the first interconnecting portion configured to receive the vertical part assembly through an opening in the first interconnecting portion that compliments the shape of the top and bottom portions of the vertical part assembly,
• a gripping element connected to the top portion of the vertical part assembly body,
• the rolling disk providing a cylindrical hole positioned about a center axis, the rolling disc mounted to the bottom portion of the vertical part assembly and fixed through the annular hole to the bottom end of the vertical part assembly,
• first and second sliding pads connected to the right and left interconnecting portions of vertical part assembly, the first and second sliding pads having first and second evolutive guides that vary in shape from top to bottom and from back to front, wherein
• the first and second evolutive guides are configured to pass the H-Seal between the stages of being in a free state with the lower lips opened outward, to being pre-inserted into the bearing, to being inserted into the bearing, to coming down into the bearing, to the lower lips opening downward in a vertical position between the inner and outer bearing rings, and finally, the two lower lips being able to recover into their initial shape opened outward.
