I think you might be able to use a standard seal hook, or even a (bent?)  
screwdriver under the outer lip.  

Note that VW introduced a different seal in about 66 which has a double lip. 
You can probably use a late one, but the second lip won't touch anything 
unless you also replace the imput shaft. The down side of this is that it 
requires you to open the differential, the up side is that you then have a 
clutch pilot tool.
