It is no problem to remove the tailshaft. Remove the crossmember, speedo cable, and six bolts. Notice the locaton of the two special ones. Pull the tailshaft straight back, and do your best to have the parking gear and governors stay behind.

That seal is very deep and with a thick shell. I almost always have to heat the end of the tailshaft housing with a propane torch to get them out. As it is aluminum it expands nicely and lets the thing go. You might want to try that before even taking the tailshaft out.
