Bentley workshop manual says use a pry tool to remove axle seal on front differential and shows a flat ply bar in the picture for removing axle shaft seals.
Flat pry tool will not work. You need the double hooked tool and put in protection padding on aluminum lip like in the picture. Comes out easily with double hooked seal removal tool. Use the more curved one under the seal lip and flatter hook as leverage point on the opposite side.
Work at two different locations about 45 to 90 degrees apart and it will come out with two tries.
