Default 4 speed side cover seals

Has anyone replaced shift shaft seals in side cover on BW 4 speed without taking the cover of when the trans is in the car.

I guess that would be possible using a sheetmetal screw and washer to pry it out but, I would take off the side cover to do this job. You would risk damaging the side cover by running screws into the seal while in the housing.
