if the seal looks good not leaking and you have not replaced one before leave it be,if ...you need to replace it be sure you do not distort or damage the bushing behind it this bushing holds most of the fluid pressure if its worn or damaged the seal will leak new or old ..

You can pry the old seal out with a screw driver. Replace with the new seal. Be sure the seal seats evenly on the pump surface.

When he says the rubber is gone, he is confused, the bushing has no rubber on it (upper bronze ring), the seal is the lower one off to the side. He just don't know the difference between a bushing and an oil seal.
