Seal can be removed by screwing in two small self tapping screws into the metal rim and then use these to pill it out. When installing the new seal clean the area well and use some loctite designed for seals to make sure it stays there. Do not get loctite on the innerr area of the seal. Use a smear of multi purpose grease on the seal lip.
