Stretching my memory --

You should be able to reach in with a 1/4 drive and bit (I think 5mm) and
and get the oil pick-up off.  If I remember right, this worked best
reaching in from the front. (I think I recall two cap-screws at the front
(rh) of the engine and another one or two around the middle...)

But be sure you have withdrawn the oil-level sensor and oil stick...

(I have an impression the pan would almost come off without messing with
the pick-up...)
