how do I remove rear axle shaft oil seal?

Someone told me it should be easy to pry off with a flathead screwdriver, but the thing feels like its stuck really tight. I even tried a small crowbar and it won't budge, thing even started to bend a little and nothing.

I use the axle shaft itself to pry it out usually. Stick the end of the shaft into the seal and pop it out.

Silly me... I have a special attachment for my slide hammer that
let's me get the bearing AND seal out in less time than it to me
to type this paragraph...

Infact I'd likely to have them both out right about.... now!

Funny thing is if they were good ones they'd still be useable...

A claw hammer worked excellent for me.
