Guess its the same procedure as most of the times to get the seal itself out. Drill a small hole, insert screw that you can pull on and done. Don’t have to tell you to be VERY careful though so you dont damage the seal surfaces. Doing this on the RMS is a bit stressful to say the least

Yes the cam slots are offset from true center diameter. Exhaust and intake are offset oppositely when timing the engine after the cams have been out etc, it is very helpful. At any rate, the offset is why those metal plates only go on properly one way, though as mentioned it is possible to install t...
