What is your question?
I need to replace my rear main seal, but the jist of my question is, do I have to pull the motor, or is there another way to do it?

How much oil will leak out in say, 1,000 miles? 1--2--3 qts?...mileage on engine?... May be wasting time due to worn rings (blow by and pressure in crankcase) worn main bearings (play in crankshsft) etc... seal will most likely leak again in a short time!! Been there! ..Test pcv valve circuit first!!
It drops all the oil in about 50 miles. It really sprays. I changed all gaskets except head gasket, and I also changed all of the vaccuum hoses
WOW!.... Then you obviously need to do something! Before you do....make sure that IS where it's leaking... cause it sounds more like a pressurized leak than a rear main seal. Good luck with it!!
It is a pressurized leak, and it's definitely coming from the bell housing, so the rear main seal seems like the best bet.
The only pressure in the crankcase is blow by from piston rings!!!! That's it, so you may want to look somewhere else! If the engine has that much blow by to force ALL the oil out by the tesr main seal (which I doubt) ....replace the engine!!
