Question about inspection cover rear main seal area

Is this some type of inspection cover that can be removed with the one bolt? What is the purpose of it? (this is not my engine/transmission but a picture of another Tundra from the internet). Thanks

 

It’s an inspection plate for checking flywheel best I can tell from that picture.

 

You won’t be able to see the rear main seal from that inspection plate though. What’s your real question? What are you trying to accomplish?

That inspection cover is to gain wrench access to the bolts that attaches the torque converter to the flexplate. You have to first remove the said bolts in order to separate the transmission from the belhousing.

 

The 5VZ exhaust goes up and over the bellhousing?? That seems kinda silly.

 

Yup, so silly they produced it like that for 26 years. At least I don’t have to pull my intake manifold to change the starter
