type 44 oil pan rear 2 bolts removal - how?

[Konstantine Bogach]

The plastic kit has 10mm socket all kinds of extentions.  That pretty thin wall
socket does not fit into the holes big time.  I had to remove that part
(support? bracket? could not find neither in ETKA nor in Bentley) to get access
to those bolts.  I will look more attentively on that part, maybe it has casting
defects.
