I havent done it but I would try without dropping it. Get it on a lift and see if anything is in the way of pulling that cover off.

There's a thread here somewhere about how to r&r the prop shaft. If you can get that out you should be able to pull the pinion carrier out. Make sure you get it back together exactly the way it comes apart.

Prop == propeller. "Propeller shaft" is old guy speak for "drive shaft".
