Yes, you can.  But remember to rotate the crank if the front throw or
counterweight is down and preventing the front of the pan from sliding
back.

And remember, when you reinstall, the hardest bolt is right above the
frame.  Make sure no gasket material is in the way of the hole.  Loosely
hold the pan in place with several easy bolts first.

Also, DO NOT overtighten the bolts in the front and rear sealing
blocks.  You can strip out the holes VERY easy.  See the book for
locations, torque specs, and bolt lengths.  If you use a bolt too short,
the threads will pull right out.
