removing oil pan on165

mmidlam · Sep 22, 2013

I tried to drop the pan but it didn't move. I didn't try too hard. Do some of the smaller bolts around the front seal bracket need to be removed?

Probably the answer is 'yes'. There are bolts in 3 or 4 directions, and nothing will budge if even one is still in place. If someone before you sealed the base with gasket shellac or a lot of rtv, you will need to pry in a couple places, but triple check all those bolts...

i figured it out. Four bolts pointing down from the seal holder and 2 somewhat grease hidden nuts on topside pan corners need to be removed.
