well, you gonna need to get a brace to hold you engine up, then drop your k-member a lil and then drop the oil pan. that is how mine was done

hmmm....think i can do it in my drive way? sounds like ill have to get it up on a lift again

paved or concrete? just get that puppy up on 4 jack stands and you'll be ok. Make sure your motor is secure while you're pullin parts off.

so true, to pull the oil pan, you gonna have to lift the engine or drop the k, be careful

my drive way is concrete, what would i support the engine with when i yank the k member? how difficult of a job would you say this is?

pretty hard i'd say, we had an engine brace that mounted to the strut towers and chained to the engine
