Yep, if you cant remove engine then go that way, hint is to set No 1 piston on TDC, drop sway bar, loosen large nut on side of sump and completlely undo oil pump p/up tube nut and sump will be able to be lowered and pulled forward. Just take your time, keep everything clean and check everthing you do when refitting caps, etc.

That should work.

I know its better to remove the engine from the car , but I do not have the equipment or space to take out the engine. Can I drop the pan and remove the pistions , then get my torque wench in to torque the rods . Thanks for ant reply
