With how close the pinion bearing is to the seal (literally against it) I didn't want to risk drilling into it or contaminating the bearing with metal shavings or even damaging it with a self tapper. I love the idea, but those parts are getting harder and harder to get.

Honestly just taking the third member out and having it on the bench was a breeze and made it much easier to work on. It also allowed me to reseal the third member to the pumpkin, which looked to be leaking anyway, and clean out all of the nastiness from the inside of the pumpkin that doesn't make it out of the drain hole. From start to finish maybe an hour more work than trying to get the seal out of the housing with everything still in the car.
