If the motor is installed, working, and not a problem you shouldn't have to remove it at all. If the motor is loose or appears not centered then you would need to adjust the motor.
If all your replacing is the the seal you should remove the washer arm assem. and mounting stand. Soak up any water or gunk that's in the sump with a sponge or wet vac. Remove screw #27 and all the pump parts should come loose. remove it carefully and look for spacers that may be between the parts. Take pictures along the way after each part so you have a record of how the parts are ordered. You should have to remove all the parts to get down to the seal.
The seal may be really stuck in there so it may be a struggle to get it out. make sure water doesn't drip down onto the motor and damage it under neath. You might benefit from using lime away depending on how gunked up the sump is. once the sill is cleaned out you can install the new seal but be careful not to puncture the rubber parts. the re-install the parts in the opposite order from the removal.
