230SL Rear Main Seal Replacement

Hi,
Has anybody ever attempted to replace the rear main seal on a 230SL without removing the engine?
Just wanted to ask the question -- before I spend hours trying and then end up removing the engine after all.
Thanks -- David

Hello dbenz,
Both halves of the rope seal are pinned, so the top half (in the block) cannot be removed without first taking the crankshaft out!
