You have to pull the engine to go that. No other way to get to it. I think you can get to it by removing transmission. However, removing and installing rear main seal carrier is difficult without removing the oil pan.

Whichever way you're going to go about, it's a lot of work. You're going to work with heavy hunks of metal. Do not hurry and make sure you're doing it safely. Best of luck.
