You have to take the two larger bolts out of the subframe mounts, and fold down the crossmember. Then you can remove the flywheel cover, then you can acess the two oil pan bolts through grooves in the flywheel when the flywheel is in the correct position.

Re: take out front bolts on the subframe - it will drop down and give you room.
Yes, raise the car and support it with jack stands. Use a floor jack to support the subframe and remove the front bolts. Lower the floor jack and the subframe will drop. You do not have to remove the subframe in order to get to the rear oil pan bolts.
