Dropping Oil Pan

luggage · 04-29-2006, 03:55 AM

What do you mean cut the crossmember out? Doesn't it unbolt? That's what the service manual says.

I didn't notice any bolts, but maybe they're just covered with grease and dirt. If it unbolts it would be easy to get the pan down.

There IS a bolt-on round tube that's used to laterally stiffen the front suspension-only 2 bolts.

The service manual has a section on how to remove the oil pan with the engine in the car. It's under "Oil Pump".

No garantee that this is better than taking the engine out

There are 4 long bolts and 2 in the rear part of the crossmember. You might as well remove the front suspension and unbolt the rack and pinion. There is a lot too it, but I think it equals out from pulling the engine. It's just that if you find something wrong with the engine you will probably have to pull it anyway.
