Default so close

I am so close. The engine is up all the way. k-member bolts are loose on last few threads. Can I remove the back 2 bolts on either side and leave the front bolt on either side. I have a jack under the kmember but not sure I want to unbolt the whole thing.

Well done!

In 2005, my x-wife ran over the concrete stop at the front of her parking space in a parking lot in her 02 Z28 and cracked the oil pan. Oil leaked everywhere. She ended up paying $1200 in just labor to pull & replace the pan.

Sorry about that, you have to be a FRRAX member. Here's a quote of what was said:
Great tip on the pan insert, that's my next mod. I'd like to put Hoosiers on my camaro but I'm sure I would have oiling problems. I did just receive the upgraded XTracker hubs from Stano so my wheels don't fall off . Funny, but not really since I've broken 2 stock style hubs with Nitto NT-01's.

Awesome job doing this on jack stands!!! I finally build the dream garage 10 years ago. Wanted to keep working on cars well into my decrepitude, so I put in a lift!
