How to remove rear prop shaft seal?

[look4disco1]

Hi,

My D2 flexible coupling needed replacing badly. Truck was pinging and dinging. :angel:
Bought a full kit to replace the rubber coupling.
The kit also came with a seal/bush (part no. STC2932) for the rear propellor shaft.
I am having troubles removing the old seal.
I have searched everywhere including the rave cd and still cannot find any info about this seal.

Have anyone removed this bush/seal easily before?

Thanks.

theres a couple of ways of getting it out, I prefer to use a seal hook.

Soak it in penetrating oil, then stick it in a vice, put 1 leg of a slide hammer in it, then wedge in a flat bladed screwdriver to hold it in, and wallop it !!! :D comes out easy peasy.

Piccy below shows same "setup" but its on the propshaft centering bearing, but it works the same on the prop bush..
