Default 2003 4l7L Front seal leaking

NooB here, never really had any problems with my Durango but recently the front seal bearing at the harmonic balancer started leaking. Does the timing cover have to come off to replace it or can the HB (and anything in the way) just be pulled for replacement? Any info is apprciated.
Thanks

edit- I don't know why my title messed up. It's a 4.7L
