Pitty bump for pic update...
So....
Since first posting the tutorial I've come across new information pertaining to servicing cartridge bearings. Enduro, a cartridge bearing manufacturer, uses a 'pick' to remove seals...'pick' 'sharp blade'...choose your weapon. Just be careful not to damage the seal. Enduro also recommends a less than 100% grease fill....I think its around 90% fill.
