With everything out of the case but the cam and the crankshaft; remove the camshaft. Note the timimg mark when the Crankshaft pin is at TDC. It will either be stright up or down. Maybe 5* off. Just make sure the crank pin is at TDC. Remove the cam. The gears are helical shaped so it will reuire a little rotation. Remember that when reassembling. Now you don't have to pull the bearings. remove the crankshaft. yoiu now have an exposed seal. Using a small angled pick hook into the seal and pull it out. reassemble the crank and motor.

i plan on removing my seal and drilling two holes 180* aprt through the metal part of the seal about .020" each and try that. I want the cam lubricated bot don't want the cowl soaked in oil.
