The idea of removing the CFRP brace to service OOC is a non-starter for me.

For TMS s55 OOC they have the optional add-on of valved drain line from u/side of OOC so that OOC can be emptied with CFRP brace in situ. p13/28 of PDF below...

MMR unit has the tapping in the underside so might ask them if they have a valved drain hose to go with it as this may then be the go-to solution for F87 n55 & s55 ie dipstick to check level and drain line...
Thanks BP, I agree removing the strut brace to clean the can is a non starter, I dropped MMR an enquiry, there’s an S55 version in development so I’d imagine it won’t be long before that is out.
