I drove the pin out with a 1/8" pin punch cradling the gear in a notch cut in a 2X4 held in a vise. It is tight! 5/32" punch with a heavy hammer would work better than what I used.
Do not pull or turn the shaft bushing like I did!

I bought the new seal from Red's Auto Rehab on Ebay for $10 delivered (o-ring included). It fit perfectly.
The bearing was fine (I didn't have a replacement,anyhow.) But, I did note the markings ...JAPAN NSK 6000DU.
