I also found another way to rip some seals out. I'd break out like a 1" section, then pull the spring up, then grab it with pliers, and pull straight up, and it usually ripped the seal out in chunks.

The spring is why you cant chisel out the seal with the xacto. Your just wedging in all in the slot. And the seals cant be stuck that bad if your just peeling them up with the spring.

Pull the spring out totaly, then drive the xacto under the seal like a wedge. Works great.

I'll try to break part of the seal, then pull the spring out if I can. Last time I tried just pulling the spring out, I managed to break it. I hope I can get the rest of the seals out of the rotors by the end of the week.
