changing the oil pan

j_silver · 05-15-2007, 12:17 PM

hello everyone
I am trying to change out my old oil pan. I cant lift the engine out so I am trying to remove it from the bottom of the car. It looks like I have to remove the Bar that connects from one end of the frame to the other, it is right underneith the back part of the oil pan. If I remove this bar will it cause any problems?

I've removed mine before without problems.

I had to use a big breaker bar with a piece of pipe over the handle to break the bolts loose on that bar.

yes I am having that problem now. I got one bolt off but the other one does not want to bugde.... I need to get a bar to use and break it.
thanks for the advise
