I watched a YouTube video with a guy using the same removal tool that 70Duster440 mentioned, and after 45 minutes with this tool the guy gave up and just used a screwdriver and pried it out. Watching the video he couldn't get the removal tool down inside the seal to pull it. I made myself a small hook with a handle and the hook is thin enough to get between the seal and shaft so we will see what happens. I don't know how mechanically inclined the guy in the video was so I really can't judge how good the removal tool is, but for $30 bucks I will try my hook first.
