Just hit it with an air gun, you shouldn't reuse the old nut anyway.

+ 1 manual says replace nut

manual says use puller

You can mangle the seal and pry it out. Punch, chisel, hammer.

I have a small slide hammer known as a dent puller that works pretty good on those type of seals. Drill hole, screw in screw, pull with slide hammer.

Similar to link below.

If you have an inch-lb torque wrench you can keep tightening the nut down in small torque increments and then keep checking with the inch-lb wrench until you get to the proper rotation force torque spec . The problem is the manual states that you are supposed to record that spec prior to removing the nut, and then add 5 inch-lbs when you put it back. Also, maybe there is some drag from wheels, tires, brakes, CVs that changes things.
