I believe what I used years ago, and I still see available on ebay, was a heavy duty L shaped bar with a small but strong hook at the end of the long side of the L (or top), it was small enough to work behind the metal of the seal and then you can bang on the base (or bottom) of the tool with a hammer. On occasion I would take a cheap or old beat up good sized standard screw driver, heat and bend the tip so you had about half an inch bent tip to work behind the seal, using a hammer on the shaft of the screw driver.
The last time I had to do this was around fifteen years ago, but this is what I believe I had to do on the 40
