Ummmm...yea....what seal are you talking about?
If you are talking about a wheel bearing seal or an axle seal, you can pick up a cheap seal removal tool at a parts store for a few bucks which is a big metal hook with a handle.

Yes. Just tear it up with a flat head screwdriver.

The quick and dirty way is to put a piece of wood across the seal and pry with a screwdriver (using the wood block for leverage.) Just deform the sucker right out of there. Seals are a one shot deal so don't try to "save" it.
I prefer to use an actual seal puller which you can pick up cheap (under $10) from any autoparts store and will make your life a lot easier should you have to ever pull your inner axle seal.

A good way to hold the hub assembly is to put the hub assembly in the wheel with a couple of lug nut finger tight. Lay the tire face down. That will hold it while you pry the seal out. I use a pry bar and block of wood.
