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.

Because I used the Rubber Gasket Cement when I installed the Seal it did not harden. That made it easier to get out.
I the past I used to coat Seal bores and the outside of seals with Red Loctite before I Installed them. But, that was when someone else was paying for the Loctite.
In any event I am thankful that the new Seal came out as easy as it did (and I was able to reuse it) because the Old one took more drastic destructive measures to get it out.
