Actually its the gasket infront of the seal thats being a bitch..... that and I didn't want to drop my exhaust to get to it. But im puttin the damn car up on a lift this weekend and swappin the seal, exhaust, and radiator (the cheap ass one that I bought decided it didn't like cold weather and cracked)
If you did not have enough coolant (anti-freeze) in the radiator it can freeze and expand. This will easily crack a radiator, it can also crack an engine block. Which reminds me, I should probably mix in some coolant, as even here in Los Angeles, it can get below 32 degrees for a night or two during the winter.
There is actually a tool for removing that type of seal. Sears may carry it.

that's what freez plugs are for
This true, but popped plugs are still not a lot of fun, and they don't protect everything.
