See pics. I circled the Tool in Red that I ended up using.
I guess it helped that when I installed the Seal I used a rubber type Gasket Cement on the edges.
Once out the Spring was easy to put on and I followed advice and stuck a Socket in the Center to keep the Spring under Tension so I would not have a repeat of the issue.

Good job getting the seal out. Rubber gasket cement? How did that help in getting the seal out? I woulda guessed it made it harder.
Did you drive the seal in with a series of small taps or a few big wacks? I think big wacks would put more acceleration on the spring, along with the unsupported lip, makes it more prone to popping off.
