385xp PTO crank seal removel

[272super]

I was looking at the clutch side crank seal on a 385xp. How does the seal seal come out? It obviously is not like a typical crank seal. The flywheel side has your basic seal but this one looks like it's part of the bearing. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

The seal does come out. It is installed into the bearing. I removed mine with small sheet srews and vise grips. But be careful not to go to deep with the screw. I didnt predrill for the screws. The seal is rather thin.
