Leaking Driveshaft

My driveshaft seal on the T5 is going bad. I have a spare T5 on hand with a good seal but not sure how to get the seals out? I dont want to damage the good one. Is there a tool or something to pop them out?

Remove driveshaft, use a seal puller to remove old seal, and use an installer to install new seal, 10 minutes of work.

I can see you haven't worked on cars very long, hammer & screwdriver is probably the easiest way to remove that kind of seal.

maybe but if you don't have the right touch it will destroy it. not everyone is able to do that. most break the seal and don't find out till after they put it all back together.
