Remove the motor, no question.

It can be done!!!!
Like Dave, I personally would remove the motor first, but it is certainly possible to remove a head without removing the motor.
I suppose it depends on your equipment and situation. If you have access to a good trolly jack and a cement area to do the work, I'd pull the motor. If you only have spanners and a grassy area to work in, pulling the head alone is probably better.
Just be certain of the problem before you remove the head though 😀
