No crankshaft removement needed.
You need to remove the oil pan and the last bearing cap, the lower half of the seal is easy, the upper half is a little more complex.
Here are a couple of writeups:

You are welcome.
Another thing: i suggest you get the double lip seal because the single lip will have certainly digged a groove in the crankshaft after 22 years.
