Best Way To Remove Oil Seals?

[Captain Caveman]

I've been tearing apart a 3hp 1957 Johnson Seahorse. I replaced the oil seal between the gear case and the drive shaft (just below the impeller). It was a real pain to remove and required lots of different attempts with various tools. I was thinking about replacing the one in the gearcase as long as I've got the gearcase pulled apart. Is there a good way to remove these semi-easily, or just pound and pull?

a seal puller tool helps destroy the seal as bad as any method!!but patience and creativity with the tools you have will usually work.

Check with Harbor Freight or any parts house as there are different seal pullers.
