yah, needle nose worked for me. Just be carefull not squeeze the seal too much and deform it. If you "oval" it a bit, it will be signifigantly harder to pull it off. Just enough pressure to grip it, pull straight up.

like he said, squeeze lightly to get a grip, and pull straight up

I had a hellish time trying to get them off with needlenose pliers. I wound up getting them pulled at NAPA for $15. I would go with the tool or have someone else remove them. I just about shot myself in the foot when I found out how much easier it is using the remover tool.
