with the engine installed? Instructions and videos I've seen all show how to do the job with the engine removed. Presumably, during an engine rebuild or car restoration. Does it help to remove the sheet metal? -6, if it matters. Thanks in advance.

I think it would be really difficult to replace the seals with the engine installed. I just replaced mine with the engine out and it wasn't easy.
