Default Easiest way to replace oil pump O-ring?

I just did a cam swap in my 2006 ls2 vette. I have low oil pressure and my tuner said I likely pinched the o-ring on the oil pump. Is there any easier way to replace this o-ring than basically taking everything off like was done for the cam swap? Hopefully! Thanks for any insight!

Not true, you can drop the pan and gain access to the o-ring without touching any of the stuff that was done for the cam swap. It's still an involved job but a LOT easier than doing a full cam swap twice.
