Rear Seal,best way to remove?

I've always used a seal puller. They are about $5-$10 at any auto parts store. Just be sure to embed the hook into the seal and pull out the old seal making sure you don't scratch the inner metal lip of the seal seating area. Also don't use the outer rim as a leverage point.
The best thing to do is look at your replacement seal, and you will see where the hook should penetrate the rubber seal in order to grab hold of the embedded metal ring within the seal. Then just pull straight out smoothly and the seal will come right on out. In the rare case that it's really tight, you may have to remove the tool, and insert it 180 degrees from your original insertion point, and repeat the pull.
You'll be amazed how easy it is with this tool. Whatever you do, don't try to use a screwdriver! You'll muck up the case (seal sealing lip) and that would be very bad!
Good Luck! It's simple just take your time.

I've not had good luck with the seal puller described above. I drill a small hole in the face of the seal, then insert a sheet metal screw. Pull the screw to remove the seal.
