[Vwdiesel] oil pan

[Pam & Doug Boes]

Can the oil pan be removed with the transmission installed? If so, how 
do you remove/install the bolts that are under the bell housing of the 
transmission? When the oil pan has been pushed in, how likely is damage 
to the oil pump? The damage appears to be in the center in line with the 
drain plug.
Once I get the pan off, can I just forge it back to the correct shape?
