Heat likely isn't going to help. Get a pick, and try and get under an edge, and pry it out.

Was it installed backwards??

 

Alright ill give that a try and yea heat probably won't help much, but it's worth a shot. I'm pretty sure its the original seal. Not 100% on that, but is hard to tell if it was installed correctly.

 

Will see how a pick works out tommorow. Tired of messing with it today spent 4 hours trying to get the bastard to break loose today. Only took me 10 minutes to get the caliper bracket, hub, axle shaft, and intermediate shaft out

 

Please try what's mentioned in this video to remove the seal - this process should work without issue -

 

I'm gonna try a really really long pry bar, a pick, and my really really long inch wide floor jack handle

 

A long pry bar (or long screwdriver) and a hammer to tap the seal out should do the trick without issue.

 

Yea I hope so I tried a flathead and a bunch of 1/2" extension connected so far no luck with them. Went to harbor freight earlier and got a pry bar and when I got back I thought about the floor jack handle too.

 

As you use the long pry bar (or long screwdriver) and hammer, try shining a decent flashlight down the axle tube from the wheel side so that you can see the seal as you tap against it. Before trying to get the seal out, you may want to clean the inside of the axle tube out a bit with a rag and solvent. When I did this job a while ago, I used a wire wheel and drill with an extension to clean out the axle tube. After cleaning the axle tube, I coated the inside of the tube with ZeroRust.

 

Took me about 40 minutes this morning

 

Congratulations!
