No, Its not possible to replace the upper half of the seal without crank removal. Its a hard pre-formed fibrous material impregnated with graphite. Its around 3/4 of a cm thick, and held tightly in the slot of the crank-case and oil-pan...
Care must be taken when re-fitting/replacing to ensure the butt ends are flush and flat with the mating halves. A 'TINY' amount of sealer should be used on the mating ends of the seal halves...
