2G Dropping the oil pan Manual GSX?

[952g63t]

Drive train/gear box is mounted directly in the way of my oil pan. How do I go about removing my oil pan?

Also, do I need to take the driver/front drive shaft out?

Thank you

Dropping the transfer case, the driver side cross member, and the exhaust should give you enough wiggle room to get it removed.

Remove the Downpipe, transfer case, and driverside axle from the transmission. its not necessary to remove it from the hub - as long as you can move it out of the way to get to the few bolts in the back. (removing it with it in, is fairly easy. its the installation thats a pita getting those bolts in)

I just did this job a few minutes ago and didnt need to drop the cross-member

If you have a wobble extension you don't need to mess with the carrier bearing

You don't need to remove an axle. Trans case and downpipe are all that's necessary. And unless you have a wobble extension the carrier bearing bolted to the back side of the block.

Thanks for the help.

Got the pan off. Adding information about what was in the pan in my build journal.

Yea doing the oil pan underneath the car on the floor isn't fun at all. I'd rather pull my motor instead .
