I'm not sure you can do the work without removing the cover. It's certainly not rocket science. Just be sure to line up the shift forks with the slider gears when you re-install the cover. Very easy to do. If you have the seals, I'd bet a trans repair shop would do it for $50-$100.
I just looked at photos of seal kits. You may be right about one of the seals being an o-ring. If that's the case, you would need to pull out the shift fork to replace the o-ring. You may want to google "Saginaw 3 speed rebuild" to find a YouTube video.
