Silly question for you, but is it possible to remove the pressure relief valve and replace the o-ring without draining the oil, or will I end up covered in oil?

Was the oil line removal necessary to access the relief valve?

Thank you Tom, wasn't sure and from my experience it's better to ask before I start on the rover
