Far better to hook the seal and provide a vertical impact force on the "hook". Do this several times around the seal and it moves forward and out without any bearing damage.

That is a good way. I have used big channel locks also.
I have also used a small cold chisel to bend the seal inward, but parallel to the bearing so I could get a flat head and pry it up against the lip of the hub.
