Yep, easy as taking off the shifter, take a wood screw or drywall screw and screw it into the seal. Pull on screw with pliers, and pop out.

New seal coat with oil, and push on with fingers. Can take a socket and hammer and lightly tap it home. Reinstall shifter in same spot, and you are done.

Or a drywall screw .... a little tape on the splines will protect the new seal as you slide it on ....
