The seal should be turned a little so the split is not even with the machined surface. Yes it is possible to replace the seal without taking out the crank. There is a tool to help with the job.

You can push around with a small screw driver and pull it with pliers then oil up the new one and push it back in just like it was, protruding out some.

You should try to offset the seal mating surface from the block mating surface. This helps prevent leaks.

I use a small screw driver that dipped into that rubber coating to prevent scuffing the seal surface accidentally. Then pull it thru using pliers as above.
Always offset the seal from the mating surfaces to prevent leaks.

The seal PULLER looks like a small corkscrew. You can use something similar, although that tool is cheap.
