4kq oil pan removal...

[R Mangas]

   My op gasket is leaking despite having turned the accessable bolts down a
bit more.  I've got a new gasket, but removing the pan looks crazy
difficult.

   It's obvious that the subframe needs to be dropped- that's easy enough.
But what about the tranny?  There are 2 bolts at the rear of the pan which
are partially obscured by an alu yoke; the yoke and the bellhousing have
access holes in them, but my 1/4" drive craftsman socket wouldn't pass
through the space available.

   Is there some special (high-dollar) low profile tool for this?

   Is the normal procedure to drop the s-frame and unbolt this alu yoke?

   Am I screwed and should just wait until I need to replace the clutch too?

   TIA,
Robert
