What's the easiest way to remove the rear main seal. I do not have a puller.

harbor freight has a plastic hook type puller for about 2 dollars,

I used a long pry bar, but you must be careful (you know this).

Check the Tech Article on Pelican for clutch replacement. There is a section about this seal with pics. They used a screw driver and a metal bar to lay across the gap.....

anyway the picture says it better and this worked for me, but it was a bitch.

good luck

I like to drill one or two very small holes in seals (around 1/16") in the middle, ie not near the inside or outside edges.
Then screw a sheet metal screw into the holes and with a pair or vice grips or something use the screw to pull the seal out.
Gotta be real careful-like not to drill or screw into something important tho.
