955 k piston replacement

I'm having to replace a piston due to a valve that decided to give up.After dropping the oil pan i see that it has a windage tray that runs back toward the belly pan for the trans axle. My question is does the rear pan have to be removed in order to take the windage tray out?I just gave it a glance before i ran out of time so any help would give me a leg up when i get back to it this weekend . Thanks.
