The freehub bearings in a Fulcrum racing Sport are worn. Since the wheel is fine and the wheel bearings are fine I thought I'd try replace the Freehub bearings. But I can't get remove this rubber seal as seen in the picture. Nor can I find any reference to it on fulcrum manuals or YT instruction videos. The seal does not want to come out and rather than rip it while trying I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows how to remove this seal?
Thanks

    It's probably just stuck in place with all the crap that has gotten in there. Have you tried to get a flat blade under the rubber and see if you can prize it away?

    Alternatively if you push the bearing out with a drift from the other side that will most likely do the job for you anyway.

    Ya. I couldn't get a small flat head screwdriver under it. And I assumed, like you, that knocking the bearing out would force the seal off but it just holds the bearing in place and won't let it out.. It's bizarre

    Is it a serviceable freehub ? What type of engagement is on it ?
