Here's the modern version, however I believe the Packard rear axle seal is too deep for this version to reach . . . it might work, but I've not used one in this application.

Some have extracted seals with sheet metal screws and vice-grips.

I just pulled one of my rear seals using a slide hammer with fingers as mentioned. I'll get a picture and post it up. Came out with a couple solid hits.
The outer seal was easily removed using a punch and hammer. I set the flange on a vise opened up wide enough to allow the seal to drop out, then tapped at 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock until it popped out. -Kevin

I can tell you from experience that the Amazon puller will not work on the Packard axle. It did deform the seal so then I had to get it out. I wound up very carefully chiseling through the seal in 2 places and then easily pulling the halves out. It was a lot of extra unnecessary work as the seal wasn't leaking. I just thought I'd replace it when repacking the rear wheel bearings. Needless to say, I left the seal on the other side alone as it wasn't leaking either. The outer seals were no problem to replace.
