Default How to Remove Main Shaft Oil Seal

Road Glide has been leaking tranny fluid. I pulled the primary case and primary pulley off and have the side of the tranny exposed. How should the main shaft oil seal be removed? I'm referring to the 3" diameter seal, not the quad seal.

Ok, thanks. That worked. I drilled a few holes in the seal and put screws into them then pulled it out with a nail puller. Just wasn't to sure how deep I could put the screws in without damaging the bearing behind the seal.
