What is your question?
The oil pan on my 2014 Mazda 5 has been punctured and needs to be replaced. It looks like I can easily access all the bolts from the underside of the vehicle. Some of the bolts attach to the transmission. Will I need to disassemble any other parts of the vehicle or can I just remove all the bolts and bring it right out the bottom?

Honestly -- I think it's best you don't try this unless you have extensive experience with automotive repairs. Things that are not quite straight forward: 1) You need to loosen engine and transaxle bolts and create a small clearance between the two. Not great at home. 2) You must remove the battery, tray, and engine processor. 3) You must remove the transmission oil cooler. Just not too fun at home. With proper tools and access, it's not a long job -- less than 3 hours.
