Haven't changed seals yet on my 34 but for all other forks I've just pushed the seals in by hand. You can tap them in with an appropriate sized socket as well.
These are the no flange type. I read that a few people have stuffed them without the driver.
No flange is certainly harder to install @SummitFever
I've only bought the seal drivers since they move to flangeless.
@mas2 I have one you can borrow, so long as you ain't coughing !

Thanks heaps for the offer but I decided to buy one this morning. I didnt want to pay $60 for the fox one last time because I could get it machined up for half that. I found cyclinic carried the unior brand though for $28 so all sorted.
That's the one I have, from Cyclinic also.

Well that's a PITA. I wonder why they did away with the flange AND made the seal tighter? The flange means its almost impossible to literally "cock-it-up".

Has a juicy midrange
It's not just the absence of flange that makes the newer Fox wipers pigs to install, they're aluminium shells with a thin rubber coating, so there's no springiness to them. Get it even a tiny bit wonky it'll bend, then it's stuffed. I fucked one up even with a proper driver.
