Can steering gear worm seal be removed in car?

It's tight in there, but with the column and firewall out, there is just enough room.

I got the seal from RockAuto. They list 3 different seals. One for manual steering. One for a 5/8" shaft and one for a 3/4" shaft. Mine is 5/8" (.625). When I started the order, they indicated 2 remaining. When I added 2 to the cart, they said only 1 remaining!!! I quickly ordered it. Less than $8.00 shipped.

There isn't much seal space to drill into, you have to be careful not to mar the shaft or drill into the boss on the outside of the seal.

I've got the same thing going on with mine. I plan on taking it out the same way you did. Sheetrock screw and a little prying Maybe with a screwdriver? My question is can you just buy the seal for it without buying a kit? If so did you get one and where did you get it?
