If you use a pick you can carefully get up under the seal. You can then pull the seal out one side stretching it far enough for it to release and not tear as you pass the O-ring grove.

Hope your repair is a simple one.

Cool

Got it straight...pulled servo back out and yes i popped the oring on it stretching it out to remove it in the lil slot ..but anyways i found i broke the seal with the cut in it and didnt know it i guess when it was pushed all the way in before.. the spring was fine as well as it is now after reinstalled..but i had to go look for an oring but no one carries them that big...oreillys autozone blah blah blah they all say go to NAPA ummmm yea ok NAPA not open on Sunday so i sit down n think about when i get home and hey im thinking .. theres the old servo with the reddish looking oring soooo i take it out and put it on corvette servo in place of the blue one seems fine.. ive run over 50 miles on it and works fine and no leaks... i dont see any differnce in the red oring or the blue one ... i rubbed them both with a rag and the red or blue dye or paint coating whatever it is just rubs offf.. not sure what is its purpose but im back rolling.. i'll see soon enuff i guess if that oring fails for some reason but its fine as of now...
Servo shifts much better than that stock one did..

Believe it or not the red and blue servo orings are a different size. I would get the right one in there when you can get your hands on one.

I don't recall, I believe its the Diameter.

As Vince mentioned they are different which is why they are colored.

Put the correct one in when you get a chance.
