Well, it would be nice if it actually worked as advertised. Unfortunately, although it resembles the factory Porsche tool, it doesn't work. The diameter is too small to engage into the seal and the depth the tool can be inserted is limited by the shaft bearing race that resides just beyond the seal. So the SIR tool could never be inserted far enough for the diameter of the tool to lock into the seal and allow it to be removed.
I finally did remove the seal using a method similar to your description although the screw kept pulling out and I resorted to a small pry bar, a screwdriver, and a slide hammer.
The tool might work if a portion of it were trimmed off so the starting diameter were larger but as is - it's worthless and a waste of $100.
