i have never done it but i know you can.... the trick is like you said getting the bolt out of the pick up without dropping it in the pan..... a friend of mine tied fishing line around it and was able to do it without removing the pan.... but its certainly a gamble

well im the one working on slowgoats car. today we tried the fishing line trick around the bolt and it worked GREAT!!! i was able to unscrew the bolt and when it came out it fell to the bottom of the pan. but with the ol fishing line around it i was able to pull it right out and finish the pump swap. Getting it back in was teadious but was able to be done
