I have repaired many of them without removing the top half of the seal. Remove the back main bearing cap and loosen the others. Take a piece of hard straight wire. Drive it between the back of the seal and the block. You can usually get it to follow the shape around.(There is actually a tool to do this with. It is a small tube with a steel plunger to drive the wire out of the tube) Cut it off flush when you get it driven around. Then put a new rope seal in the cap. Cut it so the ends stick up just a little bit. Put just a little RTV in the corners of the cap. Tighten the cap lightly. Torque the main bearing to 95-105 ft.lb.
This will usually fix the oil leak. The key is that the old top seal is just worn and loose. If the old top seal is tore up this repair will not work. The wire behind the rope is just tightening the old rope back to the crankshaft.
I have not had very good luck with the lip type replacement seal.
They do make a tool that is to pull in a new rope on the top. It looks like a steel pair of Chinese handcuffs. I never had much luck with them.
