The best way is to pull the engine. It's definitely not the easiest by any means though.

I think I would just pull the motor. It is sooooo much easier to replace the gasket properly with the motor on a stand. It could also give you a chance to replace the rear main, cause it probably leaks too.

Also, don't even bother with anything other than a one piece gasket. The rubber coated steel ones work best.
