[Healeys] Steering box oil seal

[BJ8Healeys]

I managed to get my BJ8 steering box oil seal out without drilling,
but that was almost 40 years ago and I don't remember the details.
However, I did remove oil seals from the crank and camshafts seals in
a Dodge Spirit by drilling holes to accommodate self-tapping screws,
and using pliers to pull on the screws. It works if you have room to
install the screws, but be careful not to ding the shaft.

  Trying to replace the steering box oil seal on my BJ8 in situ. Using
modified pitman puller managed to get the arm off. Now struggling to
get the old oil seal out. Any ideas/techniques appreciated ?
 Only about 1/8 in gap between splines and housing. Been making small
hook with steel rod (bike spoke) but can"t get grip on the steel ring.
Fellow AH person suggested drilling hole and inserting a screw to pull
on ? All thoughts appreciated. rg
