Yes, you have to remove the complete drive. Are you using the OEM manual?
If so, what part don't you understand? Page numbers help.

Look at the manual, How do you think you are going to remove the tube that the fork pivots on without removing the lower unit? (page 82, item 2)

There is no complete seal kit, one for the upper, one for the lower. There are no seals in the intermediate.
