You need to either pull the transmission, or the engine. Usually the tranny's easiest. Then just pull the seal and tap the new one in. If you're putting alot of new gaskets(such as oil pan) on your motor maybe pullin the engine would be easier.

if i do pull it i will change the cam andport the heads and all
but i dont have another car to drive around right now because my 02 is broke as well

think i'd find the source of the leak instead of blindly swapping out gaskets. there's a good chance it'll still be leaking from the same place it was after you make the gasket swap.
