Thanks to all who responded . I tried various
methods before I just cut on it and mangled it with
vice grips jerking the metal back and forth plus using
a hammer and a long screwdriver as a chisel to break
it loose and get it out of there.
It turns out that although the hole in the front
bracket is indeed larger than the seal, I couldn't
see that the DPO had put largish washers under the 4
bracket mounting screws and they stuck out just far
enough for the seal to catch on. I couldn't see
that situation because of the combination of things
being painted black, a bit of oily dirt, inadequate
lighting under the car, and the refusal to give in
to bifocals. (I can see just fine if I move my glasses
down my nose, dammit; however, gravity works against
that technique when one is laying on one's back
under a car.)

.....I'm
starting to think the hole in the mounting bracket
is smaller than the
seal diameter and holding it in place? Or, do I
just need to persuade it
a bit more? Thanks,
