steering box input seal removal

[Jacksonk5]

How the heck does the dust cover and the input seal come out. I bought a seal kit from advance but i cant figure out how to get the input seal out. i took the shaft off from the column to the box and removed the flex joint thing. Now what to do now?

Then it's just time to pry the old dust seal and oil seal out. I just took apart a steering box tonight.

Easy for me since i'm rebuilding the box and have it completely disassembled. I just use a bushing driver and drive the bearing, oil seal, and dust seal out in one shot with the adjuster laying across my vise.
