You should be able to lever the old seal out with an electrical screwdriver.
Ref Spudgun's point about worn bearings, the 1994 Bullet would still have the "distributor" shaft running in plain bearings, which can wear out. This type of assembly runs in quite a slim casting with a grease nipple. After 1998 the 500 Bullets changed to a better design which has the shaft running in proper bearings at both ends, not totally immune to failure, but it could be a worthwhile upgrade.
