You might be able to get away with just removing the fan assembly, depending on the puller you use to remove the harmonic balancer (bottom Pulley).
Once you remove the harmonic balancer removing and replacing the seal is easy enough.
I suggest searching some you tube clips for " how to replace LS1 front main seal"

Do you have access to all the tools to do the job?

ensure you use the correct puller
not a 3 jaw gear puller

You really need this too.

From the Holden VT/VX Service Manual. I haven't had to do this myself so can't comment on whether all the steps shown are required.

Please give it to the mechanic that serviced this vehicle.
So much less pain for you.

With the right crank bolt breaker tool the OP should be able to leave the starter in place.
