Brad,
I went through this a few years ago and had very good success by using a
small slide hammer to remove the old seal. I screwed a couple of sheet
metal screws into the flange of the old seal and alternated attaching the
hammer to them. It came right out with very light blows (which was all I
could manage due to the my awkward position under the car).
Good luck!
