Oil seal removal

[kachel 5]

Hi all, i'm trying to remove the oil seals from my gear box where the drive shafts go in.

Any tips how to do this without damaging anything?

 

Thansk a lot.

Simply pry em out with a pry bar or a big screwdriver,they come out easily. Thats a Toyota in the picture, same idea though.

Thanks! One side popped out very easy indeed. But the other side was really stuck. So I bend a piece of metal to get more grip inside the seal to pop it out.

Many tool manufacturers make a tool like this for doing just that
