Good! Does that mean that you got it all out?

I would do 2 things before installing the new seal: make sure to 
remove any sharp edge that might scrape off part of the new seal, 
and coat the seal and the case with oil, just to allow the seal to go 
in there smoothly. The proper installation tool is a piece of pipe that 
is just the right diameter and finished flat and smooth on the end.
