230 Diesel Oil Pan

Danny Prosser · May 18, 2016

Ok I give up what's the trick to get this thing off! I started tearing it down yesterday to see why it lost oil pressure and started knocking and what got messed up. I put a house jack under the trans and took the front end off of it. I pulled out all of the bolts and it will only drop down about 1/8" or so at the front. Seems to be stuck at the back somewhere. The engine doesn't have to be split from the trans to get it off does it? I can't see anything else holding it and the IT shop manual just says to do what I've done. I don't want to go beating and prying on it. Can anybody give me some help with this? Thanks.

I think you will fined you missed two bolt at the rear on the oil pan. They'd are up in the hole at the back.
Good Luck Lance

Thanks I'll check there. I found the two hiding up front. Sure hope it's not messed up to bad when I get in there. I've seen my dad clean the journals with emery cloth and put new bearings in and I hope that's the most I have to do. Thanks again for the help.
