Default Rear seal

O.K. guys and gals. What is the proper way to install rear seal without a centering tool?? Did a search and got a few different ways on installing. Tieght the two bolts under theoil pan first or the bolts that hold on the cover.

if it were me I'd spend the little bit of money on the tool and make sure it's done right... it isn't worth the risk to have to do all the labor over again if it leaks
