Default Help WIth Oil Pan !!

Have searched and found allot. But I have a total of like 14 bolts loose and the oil pan will not come down far enough to pull the pickup tube bolt. How hard do you have to push down to get the oil pan to drop??

Did you remove the two 13mm bolts that attach the bellhousing to the pan? What about the 2 small 10mm bolts that attach the bellhousting splash covers?

To re-install it will be nearly impossible without a pen magnet. Use the pen magnet to guide the bolt up into the hole. Pu the magent on the side of the bolt head so you can swivel the threads of the bolt into the hole. keep the magnet attached untill the bolt is started.

Hope this helps some and makes sense. Im typing this at work inbetween calls, so it maybe poorly written lol
