Wrenching now on Front Seal 4.0

Pulled the Harmonic Balancer to replace it (which was real easy), front seal was obviously bad so, I am pulling that too - what a pain! Prying on it with a screw driver and it's just coming out in pieces. . . I do not want to pull the TC cover. Looks like if I just stick with it, eventually it will break enough to come out. Anyone else do this repair?

Ok, got my own answer. . . Found a pry-tool at the bottom of one of my tool boxes. Looks sorta like a screwdriver that is bent 90 degrees half way down, and stronger material. Gave me alot more leverage - 2 tries and pop, it's out!
