04 grand prix n/a oil pan gasket replacement

[DirtDog]

my oil pan gasket is leaking quite badly. i checked to make sure it wasn't the valve cover gaskets before i decided on oil pan gasket. it looks pretty simple to replace but ive been told that they are a pain in the but and cant seem to find any write ups on here. any one got any tips or tricks to replacing a oil pan gasket

not simple! probably easier to pull the engine and do it IMO. not sure of any write ups on it im sure there's something though

If you have an aluminum pan and not the metal one that's painted black then you dont have a gasket, use rtv to seal it like the factory.
