With the 2 1/2" drilled hole for access to the drain plug you don't have to remove anything to access the drain or the fill plug. I used a small plunger type pump from below to pump in the fluid. On a level surface just pump the fluid until it starts to seep out the hole. That is it. One thing; make sure you remove the fill plug before you remove the drain plug because it the fill plug is stuck you will not want to drain the fluid until you are sure you can put fresh fluid in. This job is very easy if you have the hole drilled for the drain. Easier than an engine oil change since the added job of a filter change is not involved and the whole thing is right at the rear of the car.
