Probably a little late, but I use the thinnest, longest screwdriver (about the diameter of eyeglass repair kit drivers) to pry it loose from the block, then tap it out.

I am using a brass rod that fits well, and have all the main bearing caps looosened a few turns. I've beat on it for about an hour now, this sucker just won't budge. The lower seal was very tight in the main bearing cap. I REALLY don't want to pull the engine. Any advice, tricks, tips, or ideas?
