I've never seen anybody pull a seal like that. About guaranteed to get trash in the bearing. I worked for 35 years with 100+ Millwrights and probably 30 of them in the shop at any one time rebuilding pumps, gearboxes, turbines, etc. I'm pretty sure my old boss would have taken those tin snips and thrown them in the scrap lugger.
You can buy a seal remover for almost nothing at Harbor Freight.
