I bought a 2001 S two month ago and started on my 2nd project after converting to a spin on oil filter. I wanted to check and probably replace the transmission oil.
Armed with the 101 Project book I followed the instructions and started to remove the rear transmission pan and the aluminum support bars.
All went well until I got to the nut on the aluminum support, located towards the front of the car. I thought I was loosening the nut but sheared the bolt off instead. Is this nut to come off in order to detach the aluminum bar? I want to ask before I proceed on the other side with the same bolt. This seems to be a rather cumbersome process just to check/replace transmission fluid. Am I missing something?
