Yes, in most rear-wheel-drive, truck, and longitudinal-engine vehicles, you can replace the rear main seal without pulling the engine by simply dropping and removing the transmission, flywheel, and driveplate. However, in many transverse-mounted front-wheel-drive cars, lack of under-hood clearance makes separating the transmission impossible without hoisting out the entire engine assembly.
