Abstract: A ring seal removal tool may have an elongated body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The elongated body may have a bottom surface and top surface spaced apart from the bottom surface in a height direction. The ring seal removal tool may also have one of a hook or a prying tip attached to one of the proximal end or the distal end. Further, the ring seal removal tool may have a plurality of cutouts in the elongated body. Each cutout may extend from the top surface of the elongated body towards the bottom surface of the elongated body. Each cutout of the plurality of cutouts may be configured to receive a portion of a ring seal having an outer diameter about equal to a width of the cutout.
