No idea what type boot might be available today but Packard issued a service boot that could be installed without touching the pin. If yours is anything similar maybe it would work using the same instructions that start on page 27 of the July, 52 Service Counselor.

On the seal, Packard designed a tool to make the job easier. From the looks of it the shaft can stay in place and it just drives the seal in to the proper depth. Finding that tool might be difficult but maybe something similar could be made following the general design. Maybe a piece of pipe with a shaft collar clamped around it at the point needed to drive the seal to the correct depth. Tool is shown on page 24 of the June, 51 Service Counselor.
