update:
well a 2 cents flat head 4 inch nail did it.
Simply slide the flat head of the nail under the oil seal inside rim and wack the seal rim while going around the seal
Hold the seal & sleeve carrier upside down firmly in a vise with wooded jaws to prevent damage to the carrier
While working in a circular fashion , gently hammer the nail pointy end now made flat by grinding it off first and
work in a circular fashion to push the seal out evenly
Am intrigued by your simple method but am having a hard time understanding just what you did with the nail….That seal remover kit looks nice, certainly reasonably priced, but those darn gearcase seals are a royal pain, and that puller would probably just bend the metal seal housing lip up and pop out. The aluminum housings are very delicate and easy to damage/break.
Please explain your nail method one more time, sounds simple and effective….Don
