Yup, almost everything needs to come out to get to it, other than the governor.
Jim, You don't need to go the route of a complete rebuild but its probably a pretty good idea to check over all the measurements and specs, especially if you don't actually know the condition of the engine. I mean everything could be really nice and just require a set of new rings, or it could be worn way out of round and need a rebore. Better safe than sorry imo.
