[alfa] 164 oil pan removal?

[dsedon@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

hi all,

due to so many roads being flooded out yesterday, i was on an unfamiliar backroad, attempting to make it int work.  the roads was in horrible shape, debris everywher, & even tho quite careful i was not careful enuff, & tore a hole in the oil sump.  :<(  anyway, there's one last bolt holding the pan in place, hiding behind the right drive shaft.  any tricks to accessing it?  removing the engine mount & jacking up the engine dint help.  neither did unbolting the suspension strut to push the axle back a bit.   and, i cannot remove those 8mm capscrews from the driveshaft, to (hopefully?) get more access room.  any tricks here, as well?  

thanks,

doug s.
