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..

That's basically how I got mine loose as well, but I never had to contact either sealing surfaces when doing that... I just sorta mangled the seal a little leveraging part of it out, and once it was loose I could just use a pick to pull it out the rest of the way.
