Yes you can, get the seal kit (seals & pan Gasket)and remove pan and rear main. If you do not have a rear main seal R&R tool set, use a small brass punch and pinch nose vise grips to remove seal, install oiled and turn crank while installing.
When doing this you may or may not need to undo the other bearing caps.

Some of those have a tarpaper rear seal. If you get the neoprene replacement, crank removal isn't needed.
