Transfer case seal is killing me

[Bear Down]

Having a hell of a time with this output shaft seal replacement. It appears that the current seal is recessed inside. I believe it should have had a lip like the replacement seal I purchased. can’t seem to remove it with any seal tool with possibly causing damage to the surrounding area. Has anyone seen this or have any tips/tools suggestion that would be helpful?

There is a lip on that seal. You need to get under it. I use a small chisel and just try and get the edge even with the case. If you nick the case a little bit it will not harm and thing, it does not seal where the lip is.

hammer a tiny screwdriver in between the seal in the case, you're not gonna hurt anything. Or keep prying on it with a seal pry tool. get it hooked good and give it a solid hit with your hand. it will come out

Thanks for the replies fellas. Just so I understand I can place a pry tool of sort between the seal and case (arrow on the image) I’ve nicked the surrounding edge twice as shown in the image

So it appears on the video there is a lip. Is it that I just don’t see it because its flush?

It's there, I can see it in the picture. Take a thin chisel or a sacrificial screw driver and tap it in, you'll feel it.

Cool beans, I’ll give it a go when get home.

Gave it a go, worked around the edge, didn’t find a lip. I think I might have an issue because I know there should be a lip but it appears to be case. Take a look?
