It's hard. That seal should be replaced. I used the claw of a hammer, and
made sure both corners were under the seal, tight to the edge. (handle
toward you, and pull across the seal). It came out easy that way.
It's the only way I know of,

Subject: wheel bearings
Hi everyone,
I've been working on my car off and on this winter (mostly off because of
the fact I don't have a heated garage and time issues). I posted a
message a few weeks ago about how to grease wheel bearings. I got lots
of responses and I'd like to thank everyone for the help but I have
another question. How is the inside set of bearings removed. I took of
the rotor hoping that it would allow me to get the bearings out but it
didn't. The only other way I can see is to take off the rubber seal
that's on the backside of the "hub"(the part that holds the two sets of
bearings). Is this what I need to do in order to get the other set of
bearings out and how do I do this without ripping up the seal. It seems
to be in there pretty good.
Thanks,
Matt Peterson
