I am thinking of grinding down a socket to fit the slotted ring. Will the aforementioned slide hammer be able to yank it out? Thanks,

My '90 with the 2.5 engine has a similar front panel, which has to be removed to get the rear (trans) panel off. But that panel is larger and more rectangular, and I seem to recall it has 6 screws holding it up. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any "side" panels. On my car (with 221k miles), both panels have oil-soaked foam but that doesn't seem to be a problem unless you get obsessed with such things. And the front one only comes off for oil changes (I'm too cheap to do the top-sider thing, as the dealerships now do) as I like to check around, especially oil cooler lines, etc. The rear large panel only comes off every couple of years or so for the 30k transmission service.
