Rattle in the pan - How to remove oil pan....

Postby Fiatcatapult » Sat Sep 23, 2017 5:56 pm

I need to remove the oil pan.

I removed the upper nuts from the engine mounts and lifted the engine as high as it will go, but the pan will not wiggle out.

Any advice on what i should do?

Here's a couple links. You're going to have to drop the pump into the pan for clearance, but you're almost there.

What are you using to hoist the engine? If your using an engine crane, you can remove or loosen the bolts holding the trans mount to tilt the motor if the engine mounts are removed. Also, you loosen the engine mounts through two holes on the bottom of the crossmember, I don't bother messing with the bolts holding the bracket to the block, of course either method can be done.
