Well, I say, good for you buddy! It is so important to be careful removing these seals for the reasons you mentioned…It is so easy to damage/distort the aluminum castings these seals ride in…
Removing these seals has always been a dreaded chore for me as well…The seal lips tend to just bend up even when using appropriate remover tools. Once the lips have been bent up a few times, you end up resorting to trying the squish the seal housing in using a small punch….A horrible chore indeed… I am very fortunate to have had help machining a few tools that work pretty well, but it usually takes a few attempts. And, the tools are specific to a particular seal/inner opening dimension.
