A hook tool on a slide hammer is probably going to destroy the seal and bearing. It doesn't matter with the seal, but you may want to reuse the bearing. If you can find one, a circular puller with two sides cut away so you can get it behind the bearing would be better and would distribute the force around more of the bearing. You can probably find something like the attached at your local FLAPS to borrow/rent. OTC makes several different sizes.
