Supercharged 2 Posted May 23, 2010 I don 't think it can be done without removal of the cover plate... Flexible screwdriver works wonders for this job - easy with the right tools! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, you have to remove the plate (2 bolts). Some sort of flexible extension for the "hidden" sump bolts, and you should be good to go :clap: I used one like this..
