I didn't need a extractor tool in my case...actually the seal had moved towards the selector rod actuator by itself and I guess this has caused the leak. The seal had totally hardened out

The most difficult part was getting the new seal in place. Using a 14mm socket with the help of a lever against the 4wd drive axle is the best option in my eye. Pushing by hand or hammering did not lead to anywhere.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've been spending a little time under my 2001 3.0i lately and notice a little leak and looseness at that location, so I'll probably replace that seal.

And it looks like @ScottZHP's post #15 is for the wrong seal, and his post #19 is for the correct one, right?
