It was later pointed out to me
the easiest way to get the seal out
was to use the end of the axle as a
pry bar to pop it out.

Break in procedure:
1) Do not use synthetic oil with a torque sensing differential.
Be sure to add a friction modifier to the oil.
2) If you have new gears, then run the car in drive on jackstands
for 15 minutes and let it cool for 1 hour. Repeat. The heat up/cool down procedure is for the gears, not the limited slip.
3)
If you have new gears, take it easy for the first 150 miles. For extended life change out the oil after the 150 mile break
in.
4) Do a few figure 8's or circles in both directions to get oil to all the clutches.
