oil seal removal

[John Cave <cavej@mcmaster.ca>]

does anyone have an easier method for removal of the oil seal in the
timing chain cover, other than trying to pick it out with a thin bladed
screwdriver. Installing clutch bleed extension tonight (if it doesn,t
snow) had to make my own union i could,nt find one deep enough to take
the bleed screw, more work than i intended but this will eliminate
ripping out the interior just to bleed the clutch, what would be the
reccomended clutch fluid to use, i,ve put in new seals and i don,t want
them ending up like black jelly beans.
                                          thanks a lot,
                                                                  John
