why are you removing the oil pan? you cant possibly think that you can just fix everything from the bottom up, do you?

take the whole damn motor out.

Took the words right off of my keyboard.

pull the motor.

pull the motor makes the work alot easier but it can be done without pulling it. this past time i was forced to do all work in frame an now they r listening to me and letting me pull it since it still ahs a prob after all the inframe work that i had to do.

pull the motor will be the easy way an if u have the tooling to go that route an people that wont force u not to do that then pull it for sure!

Just pull it.

Read your other post, if you can't spin it at all you need to pull the engine.

well guys we didnt pull anything and got her done in about a hour were god speed lol

Funny I was going to come on here and ask the same question today, leaking all kinds of oil from the pan gasket. Had it up on the lift and thought I might be able to drop it with out pulling the motor, but that sounds like an easier way to go.

we didnt pull it just used some wood after we took the rear engine mount out man some wood to hold the engine up worked great =p
