take a plastic hammer and drive the seal housing out of the bell housing. Shouldn't take but a moderate tap to do so. then use a punch to drive the seal out from the front side. There is a oil weep hole you can use. you will also want to replace the rubber o-ring when you do this. Should be in your gasket kit
