I was very much considering replacing the whole pan but thankfully I got the plug out using one of those ez-out negative threaded drill bit things. The threads on the pan looks fine so the new plug should fit in fine when I get it. In the mean time, would you mind giving me some tips on how to remove the AOS? I took off the back right wheel and I'm working through there, but it's still a tight squeeze. I'm sure it's manageable, but is there an easier way?

I did mine from the top.

Pull the snorkel & see if any oil pools in the manifolds.
