Crank seal won’t come out (clutch side)

[MasonBraaps]

I’m replacing crank seals, stator side came out fine but the clutch side will not come no matter how hard I try and yank it out with a pick.. any tips or suggestions would help, thanks!

run a drywall screw into it just a few threads and get a pair of pliers, claw hammer or flat bar puller on the screws to pull

I used the same trick Awk08 was mentioning.. Just make sure you don't drive the screw right into the crank bearing. If you have a socket close to the same size as the outside diameter of the seal you can use that and gently tap the new seal into place.
