65000 miles? It's time.
The easiest way to remove the rear seal is to knock out the rear bearing and the seal will come right out, without damage. However, I don't know if I would want to reuse the bearing after being extracted this way. The bearing may be OK (bearings are much harder than drift punches), but I couldn't recommend reusing it, not at least without seeing it. So that leaves you with the other option of repacking the bearing while in the hub by sticking a couple of grease-covered fingers inside through the seal & bearing. This works well as long as there is no burned grease, and you use the exact type of existing grease.
