Opti Seal How the **** do you get the opti seal off....I just tried using some j tool thats like a flathead screwdriver and broke the damn thing off and busted up my hand pretty good
Haha, good deal......I was about to post and say just murder it, just dont murder the cover and whats behind it. If they are a bitch, usually you can get em to the point where they just give up and collapse

it wouldnt be bad if i would have just left the seal in there.....but i said hey this seal has 150k and i'm not gonna have everything torn down just to have my oil start leaking in a few thousand miles
Its better off that you replaced them, as far as I know they are not reuseable (I wouldent even if they were for the same reason you stated, having everything ripped down only to have it leak later).
I have never had a problem getting them in without the J tools, just gotta "lightly coax" them in. The WP drive seal is easy, just find the right sized socket to tap it in. But the Opti seal and crank seal are a little tougher, I got both in square no problem multiple times just using a light hammer or mallet. No leaks and no damage here, just need to be careful.
