I don't think the engine needs to come out for this. Pulling the trans should be enough.

My B2 needs the rear main replaced too. Are there any step by step guides on how to do it?

It is quite easy, I have done it twice, once on my 2.9 and once on my 4.0. just a careful pry out w a pointed awl, careful not to scratch the crank! aim the awl toward the block and tap until it gets a sufficient bite to pry it out, both times it came out easily for me. Then having a proper sized socket to tap it in with, use ample grease and it will tap in nicely.
