Interesting, The seal is not that big, it is not a rope seal. I have had good luck just pushing on one end of it and getting it to start moving, you can then grab the end and rotate it around the shaft then just lifting it off. The bigger issue is what style of seal you use to replace it. I have found 3 different ones: There are still some of the original seals out there with the fiber side gibs. If you follow the instructions they will work. There is one that does not use side gibs, you force a silicone RTV like stuff between the seal retainer and the block then push in a pipe cleaner looking thing that has been soaked in water. Water cures RTV. I have had very bad luck with this seal, it may work for others. There is a seal with red rubber gibs that has worked for me. Good luck. Dennis C.
