I have placed the seal when a 10 qt pan required removal.  Parking brake bracket needs to be removed.  If it has already been modified to be removable, you are one step ahead.

As long as you don't have a rope type seal that is pinned in place, the seal above the crank can be spun out using a small punch against one of the seal's ends. ZF stays in place.  No fun, yet it was successful.  Be sure to offset the end of the new seals about 3/8" from the plane of the oil pan block surface.

the rope seal is only pinned in place on the mainbearing cap , by replace the rope seal by a rubber seal the pin must be hamered inwards.

sometimes needs all the bearing caps losen a little
