Changing a Range Rover Sport camshaft rear seal?

How do you change a camshaft rear seal in a Range Rover Sport V6 diesel? Apparently you need to remove the chassis to get to the seal, at a cost somewhere between $4000 and $5000. What a joke. I find it hard to believe that, in this day and age, a manufacturer of such a prestige line of cars builds them without access to the motors to replace a moderately priced seal.

Land Rover spokesman James Scrimshaw has your answer: "If Mr Walford took his 2011 Range Rover Sport to an authorised Land Rover dealer, they have access to the special tools that are required to remove and replace the rear camshaft seal. The suggested time allocated for this work is approximately 3.5 hours and the body would not need to be removed from the vehicle".
