I think i remember screwing a screw into mine and then pulling it out that way, it's been a while.

Yes, thats how we do it at work sometimes.

I loosened my rear main bearing cap and then mine was easy to get out.

That's how I've done it before as well.
A self taping screw is what I've used.
Leaving the screw in the metal part of the sealuse something to pry it out, claw hammer, pliers with a fulcrum. and it'll come right out

Mine wasn't leaking, but at 225000kms, I wasn't taking any chances when I had the engine out so I replaced it . I used the screw technique and worked great, easy job to do, GETTING to it is the PITA part!

I put a new one in with my clutch and I think it still leaks. :dontknow:

Mine has been replaced 3 times with the last replacement a crank sleeve used hoping it would stop it. It still leaks and I give up.
