Isn’t it possible to replace the engine rear oil seal by dropping the pan and pushing the old seal out to replace it?

Fifty years ago manufactures used two piece seals that could be replaced by removing the rear main bearing cap.

The engine in your car has a one piece seal, the transmission and torque converter must be removed and the seal removed/replaced from the back of the engine.
