On his car, the seals are different on each side of the car. On one side, the J-41102-1 worked perfectly, on the other we had to use the socket/punch method. That side took a lot more time, and we were extra careful to try to keep the seal square as we were tapping around the edge.

How do you remove seal from Chevy Malibu stub shaft?

There is a second tool that is used to remove the seal from the stub shaft (or from the fixed shaft on the drivers side). The tool works like a standard puller. The tool grabs the back of the seal, and the puller pushes against the end of the shaft, pulling the seal off of the shaft.
