I hit a bump in the road and cracked my oil pan. It was not too bad and I did not damage the engine............I have it jacked up and it looked pretty straight forwrd for removal, until I ran into 2 10mm bolts that are hidden just behind the flywheel. I have a manual transmission, in a 2000 Jetta TDI with a 1.9l engine. Do I have to remove the engine to get at these? Is there some special trick or tool? I looked for a "how to" on this, lot's of people have had trouble with hitting something, but no one except me seems to have trouble getting the pan off.
