Default True Track and Tranny Oil Change

I installed the True Track stabilizer on my 16RGU and now I'm changing the oil in my tranny. Seems that the plate is covering the hole in the frame plate where the hole is to access the tranny drain plug.
Am I missing something or do I have to remove the True Track to access the tranny drain plug?

😂 According to the manual transmission fluid only needs to be changed every 20,000 miles so you probably don’t have to do it that often

Welllll, I'm about to set out on a 10K mile or so ride, so I would like to start with a fresh load of oil.

Doesn't look like I'm going to get a knowledgeable answer here so I'll just remove the TT and change the oil.

If you can't access the drain plug with the unit in place I see no alternative to removing it. Can it be modified to allow access without compromising it's strength?
