Yeah, you should have seen the mechanics and service manager's faces when they read that one. Sort of like a bad joke: like most shops (if any?) have an oil bath, heated to what, 350F or something, large enough to take a C-14 final drive, just lying around. Oh yeah, a pretty common thing to have at a motorcycle shop.
Sometimes I think the manual makes more sense when we simply cannot read it at all.... :-)
So now, back to reality: the way to pull the larger seal is by using Sheet Rock screws. A gentle tap on the screw, with the tip right in the center of the sheet metal "U" that mounts (Easy Boys!) the lip seal and a few turns and the screws will grab onto the seal body. Then a small block of wood on the drive and something to pry on the head of the screw and the seal pops right out.
But it is not usually the outer seal that leaks, it is the inner one.
And the bearing, yeah, the normal way is to drive it out from the other side (the outside) with a drift. It ain't pretty, and it ain't fast, and the user MUST be careful but it works. Hard on the bearing though, which is why a new one is recommended.

Did you use the "hot oil bath" method as mentioned in the service manual or something else?
