Significant Technical Input
Your biggest problem will be holding the sprocket while cracking the bolt loose. After that it's a piece of cake - no puller needed.

I don't know what your plan is for removing the seal, but I usually use a 1/8" drill bit and carefully drill a hole in the old seal. Do not scratch the camshaft with the drill bit. Then insert a hook or 90° pick into the hole, using a pair of side-cutters or pliers to grip it while prying against the cam snout. Be sure to lube the new seal before installing.
