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. |
