Same here, the PO had used Stag jointing paste (the pink stuff they use on
core plugs) to install the rear seal. The only way it came out was to remove
the extension housing and drive out the seal from the inside. grrrrr.
It's worth trying Jarrid's method first. Just don't be too upset if it
doesn't work.
Cheers,
Paul.

Pulling the seal was (in my case) a lot easier said than done. With the
trans out of the S3 I took it to a trans expert who had the right sort of
puller. It took considerable force and ended up breaking the seal but
fortunately did not damage the housing. I guess after 37 years it was kind
of used to being where it was.....
