The transmission/engine "damper" as bentley calls it, can easily be
removed, and certainly improves access to the oil pan.

But I think your problem would best be solved by rotating the engine
slowly until two access channels in the flywheel line up with those oil
pan bolts.  I think that is all it takes.
