When I did my Kohler K321, all I did was was remove the oil pan; then I took a large chisel and broke the gears(they are just cast). After that they removed easily. Just be sure you get any metal chips out. I used a magnet to get the large ones, then rinsed the block out with diesel.
I can't say really, as I took all mine out while rebuilding & had the crank out anyway. I have read some can be removed with crank in, but likely the smaller hp models with smaller crank throws.
I was able to remove mine in the K341 with crank in. Hardest part was getting the retaining clips removed, then just rotate the crank to give enough room for the gear to come off the shaft.
