Oil pan removal help
- Thread starter jet3000gt
- Start date
I was going to replace my oil pan gasket and asked this same question. The responses were overwhelmingly "NO, you have to remove the header". The oil pickup tube sits too low in the pan to remove the pan without removal of the header. :frown: I'm living with a slightly seeping pan gasket.
+1... Header has to come out to pull the oil pan, ask me how I know?

I removed the U shaped bar in the rear. The front brace is disconnected but do I need to completely remove it? There seems to be a bolt that runs horizontally that really looks like a PITA. Help please
If you have one, a 1/2" impact gun with an extension will just fit up there.
1/2 long extension, swivel adapter, 17mm deep socket
You can use a gun if the size of your extensions alow it. I typically loosen this with a 1/2 breaker bar, then you can easily back it out, the nut will fall off the passenger side
.
When you go to reinstall it, use wide duct tape to hold the nut on, with enough tape length to pull it off after the nut is secured.
