Id remove the oil pan myself. PITA but better that than struggling to fit the front seal properly. Did something similar to yourself and just had to bite the bullet.

Agree on removing the pan. You have to remember the crank oil seal - you'll be fighting it a bit to get that pan seal on right.

Don't ferget the RTV.
