Help getting oil pan out.... Help asap!!! I have tried everything and can not get my oil pan to come out... I have dropped the kmember to where the bolts are barely holding it up and have jacked up the motor till the can is starting to lift and the damn think will not come out.... Any ideas??? Do i need to just drop the whole kmember?

Remove the 6 K-member bolts and let it drop as far as it will go. Don't worry, the suspension will hold it up. This should give you enough clearance to remove and re-install the oil pan. I've done it more times than I like to think about but its not that difficult.

When I did mine I pulled the tranny and took off the alt and A/C and dropped the member and still had trouble.....it was the oil pick up. I drops way down in the pan. PITA!
