Unscrew the shaft out (left-hand thread) and use a little heat on the housing to break the bond on the outside of the seal. You can usually then press the seal out carefully from the outside bushing hole with a long 1/4" socket on the impellor or pry the seal out the back with a large screwdriver. Heat generally does a good job (when you can use it without damaging adjacent parts) of releasing seals and I use it a lot in suspension work.

Be sure to lube the seal around the outside when installing and after pressing it in so it clears the top of the bore, put in the circlip in and use the circlip (tapping it in with a small drift) to push it the rest of the way until the circlip snaps into the groove. The seal can be installed too far into the bore so that the impellor rubs against it and using the circlip method prevents this.
