Last seals I pulled I went to Autozone and got the pilot bearing puller and slide hammer from their rent a tool program. I pulled two drive shaft seals and two prop shaft seals with these and didn’t mar anything up. I was able to hold the propeller bearing in one hand and use the slide hammer with the other to pull the seals. For the drive shaft seals I needed force it in the lip then I just turned the barbs and pulled up on good lip, it worked great.
