Find a tool with a small hook on the end...........one that you can hit upward with a hammer. Hook the seal and smack the tool with a hammer and it'll pop right out. Takes much longer to find the perfect tool than to do the job.

You soak them in mineral spirits to dissolve the grease. Then you wash them carefully in acetone to remove all traces of oil.

Then you pack them.
