It should be accessible with a bottle jack and a piece of 2X4 on the back edge of the oil pan rail. I put the 2x4 length wise on its side to spread the weight and to keep from crushing the pan or bolts. I unbolted both sides and loosened the trans mount to give it some play. I did one side at a time being careful not to jack it too high in the trans tunnel. It was real easy and quick.
