Now I just *know* someone out there has solved this problem.  Fess up! :-)

I'm trying to get the front oil seal out of my GT6's bellhousing.  Naively, I
assumed it was just rubber and began worrying it out with a knife blade--
enough to bung it up good; but I can't get it out.  I finally got rid of the
rubber by soaking the thing in acetone, and now I can see the problem is a
steel ring that looks like a press fit.  It's in there so tight that prying is
useless.  The only other idea I've had is heat.

any BTDT much appreciated!
