I know it's been discussed to death, But I haven't had much luck with the search....
'58 235 Rear main crank seal is leaking oil.

Question is do I need to drop the oil pan, or will I get enough slack in loosening the rear crank cap to sneak the new seal through?

Please tell me I don't need to take this oil pan off again....
