96 XCR 600 SP Crank Seal, Can I change it with engine in sled?

[Joelwk]

I pulled the drive clutch off of my XCR and noticed that the crank seal is slightly distorted. Probably damaged by a chunk of old belt as there were a bunch of belt pieces under the hood.

No sign that the seal is leaking, but I would like to change it as a precaution. Can I remove and replace it without removing the engine from the sled?

If so, any tips/suggestions on how to do?

Thanks, Joel

the motor has to be totally torn down to replace the seal
