I worked late, so limited progress.
OUTER OIL SEAL is free. I used a knife to scrape around the edges and pounded it out. After it came out I noticed the outer edge of the seal was red. It seemed thicker than paint.
INNER OIL SEAL is still in. I assembled the tool per Hans ( I think), but for the life of me could not figure how it can hook and hold. It slips off the rubber. The spring came out. I pulled a chunk of rubber out with pliers. I wonder if I have it hooked up right. I certainly understand how the Packard oil seal remover work because you can add tension to make the hooks hold. The hooks in the slide tool swing freely and prefer the path of least resistance, namely, coming out through the seal.
It's late so giving up on inner, declaring victory on outer. Try again tomorrow.
Thanks for help and suggestions. Must be painful to watch, but proceeding cautiously so I don't do any permanent damage.
