You don't. 
you unbolt the seal housing thru the sprocket and remove the entire
intermediate shaft assy. (don't forget to remove the distributor or it
wont come out.)  
Sounds like alot more work but there is a thin 0-ring behind the housing
that probably needs replacing. Once you have th4e shaft out you can vice
up the shaft and remove the  timming gear. The shaft housing comes off
and you can replace the seal which is set into the housing.
