Okay, so for everyone in this thread that has replaced cam & crank seals.. what is the easiest method of removing old ones? When I did mine it was a bitch and a half to get them out. Simple picks and such did not work at all. As I recall I ended up using a little screwdriver that I'd kinda drive into the outer rim of the seal housing at a diagonal with a tap of a hammer, and then lever that part of the housing outwards. I went around the circumference of the seals doing this until they came out. I worried about scarring up the bore that the seal housing fits into with this method though..
