Grab an angle grinder and where the seal is just cut the housing off and pull the seal out. lmfao

Mate they are a bit of a prick I used screw drivers as levers and multi grips to rip the thing out. And be careful replacing they are prone to getting damaged

there is a t shaped hooked tool for removing those seals that works quite well - Trade Tools have them, and I'm sure others do. Kinda like a little sheet metal old fashioned anchor on a long handle.

yeah thats what ive been using.. i got mine from auto barn and got change for 10 bucks. I ended up using the edge of a cold chisel that made short work of it without damaging the housing
