The easiest way would be to clear enough room on the back side and unbolt the pan allowing it to drop down an inch or so, then you can hope the gasket comes out without a lot of clean up and slide a new gasket in place and put it back together.

Other than that you will have to jack the engine up real high and fight it out, if you actually need it out of there.
