It’s doable, but I wasted double the time it would have taken me had I just pulled the stiffener. I’ve reused those big TTY bolts probably 4 times and wanted to save myself the money and not buy new ones.

I tried pulling off my stiffener plate when I changed my oil awhile back (first time), but try as I might, I couldn't even loosen the bolts (1/2" electric corded impact and a 4 foot breaker bar). I might have to grind off the bolt heads if I'm ever to remove the plate for oil pan access.
What are some good, cheap, replacement bolts that I could add to my replacement parts stockpile?
