I'm pretty sure it can be done, though looking at the pic, you may have to drop the pan to remove the bearing cap. I told you I forgot exactly what the seal was like, but I remember now.

Hylomar is a sealant, available at most any auto parts store. You will probably need a new pan gasket if you drop the pan though.
