Power steering pump O-Ring

I use a flat screwdriver between the cast body and the tank where I can twist the screwdriver like I was turning a screw and it pops loose.
Just be sure you have all the bolts out of any place that they go through the tank itself.

To remove the shaft seal tap a small flat screwdriver through the metal casing of the seal on the outer edge and pry it out.
Be at least a little careful about scratching the shaft, but it's not hard.
Ok on the shaft seal, will try that method. My big O ring looks more like a flat gasket which is why I thought the cast body had to seperate. More than likely the reason for my leaks!
