so my alternator belt snapped then took out my ac belt then cracked my water pump belt then wrapped around my crank and busted the main seal so i was taking it out today and end up getting this problem. The middle part of the main seal came out but the other part is stuck in place; it turned into soft rubber. I tried using a small screw driver to pop out one end but that did not work so I tried moving it around and it did not work.
This is what the main seal looks like vs the new one.

This is what i am looking at on the engine.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the rest of the main seal?

Take off the front cover, I think you might have to pull it out from the other side.
