For what it's worth, I don't remove the dust seal from my freehub bodies when servicing the bearings. I use a pair of tweezers to remove or install the bearing balls, and a paper towel or rag on the end of my pinky when wiping out old grease.

The dust seals are so flimsy that it's hard to avoid bending them if you try to remove and reinstall them.
