Ditto on the congrats. You have set a bad example for me 
so after having put it off long enough, decided to go for it. What a pain that inner seal is (was).
Packards tool must be really good because instruction of tapping the end with a hammer I don't think would have cut it. Maybe they meant heavy blows. It laughed at the slide hammer but finally got it with the Lisle type pick and a cold chisel -- but not without a lot of grief and a totally destroyed seal. Yours looks pristine compared to how mine came out.
I think it will take a tranquilizer, a good nights sleep and recharge of vocabulary before even thinking of starting to do the other side. Maybe I'll give your ultimate repair tool a try when that time comes --
