Any tips?

Howe, Power Steering components, AGR and a few others can do this. If you just want to pop that seal out and take your chances, here is how I have seen this done. With a big drain pan ready, and people very clear, (engine off) remove the snap rig, then start the engine and turn the wheel to lock, the pressure should fire that seal right out.
