Yeah...it takes some twisting and turning to get it out but that joint in the middle of the fill tube is nice in that regard. I left my truck on the ground and still got the pan out from underneath it. It's a little more tricky to get it back exactly where it goes, but doable. Just took me a little trial and error to get it right, I also had to wipe the pan back out after I got it almost back into place as crud from above was falling down on it while I was working it back into position. I had some new ATF that I pour on a rag to wipe it out, all the dust stuck to it pretty well.
Just be sure that you don't put your form in place gasket back on the pan until you get it in proper position to put it back into place as you may take too much time to get it there and have a dry gasket by the time you figure it out.
I used Permatex "Right Stuff" and it worked great, very easy to apply in a tight space under the truck.
I do think that I stripped out a bolt on the pan when I was reattaching it, but there is like 30 bolts on there and all the holes got filled with the FIPG so I don't think it's an issue, it'll just get locked into place like the pan when the gasket seals.
I just did this last night so if you have any other questions about how it went let me know!
