you could just use a seal puller pry type or drill a small hole in the seal and use a screw in slide hammer to remove seal. this is the way ive done them on 1 piece rear main seals on v8 pickups.
iwouldnt think you would have needed to take that off. you could have pried the seal out andpounded new one in i think? id clean it all off them apply a good bead of permatex gasket maker the grey kind to both surfaces let it tack then assemble.
