oil pan removal question??

[shiifty_dart]

can I remove the oil pan with the engine in the bay so I dont have to pull it or does it have to come out?

thanks shiifty

Drop the centerlink, and pull it, take off the tranny shield first.

It should come out without removing the engine..

I agree, you will need a pickle fork and remove the center link from the streering gearbox and move it aside...break the driver's side tie rod connection with pickle fork...then you need a puller to remove the pitman arm from the steering gear box
