Is this my only reasonable solution to get a full drain of the fluid or is there another? I don't want to put new filter and enough fluid minus the TC only to have it mix/blend together to give a mediocre fluid change. Any ideas certainly welcome - running out of time today.... Thanks

The fan blade has an offset blade where you can stick a ratchet and socket on the crank bolt to turn it. Not too difficult when the car is on ramps or jackstands.

Oh no! Wish I had heard from you about 45 mins ago. Back together now and going for the 'partial' fluid change
