Alynch, removing the aluminum bracket (and braces) takes you less than ten minutes

Just remove the wheels and use jack stands to ensure that you don't have any weight on the suspension, after removing the triangle you would be able to drill a drain hole properly so next time will be a breeze..

Gilles, I was just looking for a short cut. I removed the aluminum pan and brackets before when I took out the CV axles to replace the rubber boots. I'll do as you suggest and remove them again, measure and drill a drain hole, then post a drawing with the location and dimensions.
