Try an air gun to spin them apart.

Motion pro '08-0117' works on your model.

You can put them back in with the impact too as long as you start the threads by hand

You don't need to take it out to change just the seals. Only if you are going to take the shim stacks apart to clean. Just to do the seals just take off top cap, take dampening rod off of the cap, remove dust seal, remove clip on top of seal, grab the two half's and pull them apart. Then change seals.
