go right ahead, just be careful ,the clip is only to keep the shaft from pulling out with the dist. use a magnet or dum dum to hold the shaft in a 5/16 socket (Beckemeyer where??)

have done this many times as a dealer tech. if you miss the hole and can not get the shaft back out you will need to remove the pan then. try this first.
