The only problem with using a puller like the one suggested is it’s very easy to break a piece out of the carrier where the seal sits. The carrier doesn’t like being pried against and is made of a brittle cast aluminum which tends to break instead of bend.
‘Gently’ is the magic word. Supporting the outside of the carrier with a hose clamp might help to. Without the dedicated OMC puller, cutting the old seal out using a lathe would be the best option.
