[Shotimes] removing crankshaft front oil seal

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

Run a sheet metal screw CAREFULLY into the face of the seal (on the steel
part) and use a pair of pliers to grab the screw and pull it out.

All you need to put it back in is a flat faced cylinder with a slightly
smaller OD and slightly larger ID than the seal.  Use a hammer to tap gently
and evenly on the cylinder to drive the seal home

Hi,

I'm my quest to stop oil leaks, I'm now ready to replace the crankshaft
front oil seal. Manual says to use a "Locknut pin remover". I don't have
such. 

How else can this seal be removed? I tried using my Hook & Pick Set, but
that just taers the rubber off little by little. Do I need this "locknut pin
remover"?

Then when installing it manual mentions using some special tool (looks like
a huge axle nut remover). Again, I don't have this thing. Is it really
needed?
