depends on what seal you are changing. check to see if there is a grove in the shaft, if there is then just changing the seal wont stop the leak. make sure you put grease in the seal where it sits on the shaft. apart from that just make sure you put it back together the way you took it apart

Get yourself a seal puller from Supercheap or something, make it easy for yourself. Carefully remove the old seal. Check the bit where the seal was and make sure it's all neat. If so, put a bit of oil on the outside and inside edges, get a socket the same as the outer diameter of the seal, and gently tap it in with a small hammer.

This is what one looks like, however this will not remove the seals that you wish to remove.

1) He didn't say which seals he was trying to remove, and 2) if he's replacing thhe oil pump, cam, front main, rear main seals like I think hes talking about, it will work fine.

And it'll even remove the spigot bearing if you're feeling really creative

Ok....frank! 
The 1GG he was talking about must be a differential of some sort.
However as a mechanic, you cannot safely remove a garter lip type seal anywhere on the engine with a shaft still inside of it, without marking the shaft, they are primarily for open seals, such as a driveshaft seal or the like as shown in the picture.
You can also remove spiggots with it yes.
But not a seal that still has a shaft inside of it!

Riiight, I might not be a mechanic, but from the side on, the seal puller looks marvelously like a nice small sharp screwdriver with the perfect curve for...wait for it...pulling out a seal
I may not be a mechanic, but telling me something I've already done and insinuating I'm stupid in the process doesn't sound too smart.

And, for the record, my 1GGTE, the one I changed the seals on, is an engine not a differential, but not being a mechanic, I could've made a mistake.
The W58 manual gearbox pulled the seals out of with...wait for it...my seal puller, is kinda like a differential device, if you REALLY stretch the definition.

Sorry for the general description of what I was after, didnt mean to cause confusion . The seals I am replacing are, 2 cams, front main, oil pump, and water pump and the rear oil seal.
I am not a mechaninc either but fairly certain the 1ggte I have on the engine stand is not a differential
RG65, I am on the southside. Capalaba.

and pray that the rear main seals properly.
I know of a 1g expert that had to pull it apart a few times as it never wanted to seal properly. using a genuin part too.
only replace the rear main if you need to.

Obviously no point in arguing with Frank, other than the fact that there is a reason as to why you are not a mechanic.
Extension housing seal replacement, requires the tailshaft to be out, input shaft seal requires the.... wait for it, input shaft to be removed, thus giving you ample room to place in the hook of the remover without damaging anything.

Yeah, because I didn't want to ruin a hobby by making it the thing I do day in day out. If you want to actually say something constructive, or actually something factual from your wealth of experience as a mechanic, do it.
You're trying to be funny and seem important by belittling me, but all you're doing is making yourself look like a dong.

I all honesty Frank, the last thing that I would want to do is belittle you.
You challenged me to a topic in which I had an advantage, but still chose to class my information and experience as useless.
There is no benefit for me to make you look like a dickhead on this forum. I personally see no point unless you are being hypocritical.

This was taking a stab the way I see it.

Yeah, an advantage is fine if it's an accurate one. You said to the guy you couldn't remove the seal with said seal picker without damaging anything. Then proceeded to tell the dude to use a screwdriver which is similar, but actually makes the job harder.
As for that taking a stab, that was talking from experience. I don't have to be a mechanic to remove a seal dude, I proved that by the fact I easily removed and replaced the seals the way I did. All you did was prove that you need to shop around when it comes to mechanics.

Ok, understand that your stab was clearly before mine.
Anyhow, this is turning into a bitch fest which I am..... caring for .
You do what you do, if it works, great!
I will do my way.
No point arguing any further.

Dude, I'd really like to get along with you, saying that I took a stab at you first when you basically said that what I said to do was wrong with the above, when clearly it's not right, just pisses me off.
