Stock oil pan removal and replace with a Canton
Just wondering if there is any way to get the stock pan off the engine without unbolting the motor mounts and raising it up a few inches. The car does have the BMR tubular K-member. I'm hoping that the BMR K gives me some additional room to maneuver the stock pan out without too much hassle? Also, does anyone suggest replacing the stock pickup with something better while I have the pan off? Any help will be appreciated.

Widow, I know about your thread, but my situation is slightly different than yours. I don't want to put a cherry picker in front of the car if I can help it. Personally I think I might be able to remove the motor mount bolts and lift the engine slightly, but I'm really hoping that the tubular K-member might give me enough room to remove the pan without resorting to unbolting the motor mounts. Probably wishful thinking
Yes, I know how to use the search.

I do this all the time. get a front wheel drive engine brace and chain the engine to it. this thing goes across the strut towers. Get the car up on jack stands and support the k-MEMBER
Re move the steering link adn the 6 bolts holding the K-Member. now slowly let the k-member down until it engine brace is holding the engine then the rest of the way. Oh yeah the sway bar mounts on the chassis.
Next undo the engine mounts frome the K-Member and it will come down even more.
You should now have more then enough room to replace the Oil pan. i would use a B&B pan long before that one you are looking at BTW
