hi, i was wondering how difficult it is to replace a leaky oilpan, or just redo the seals on my 1988 GX. i have little to none experience with working on cars, but im not inept... i could prob figure it out... i was looking thru the haynes manual and it says i have to hoist the engine a bit to get at it... can anyone who has changed theirs tell me the process for it, and if its a simple few hour job? thanks!!

few hours dawg definatly.. i did it in like 30 minutes.. just get a ******* big *** ratchet adapter like 6 inches ( maybe that would be enough, just remmeber the more leverage the less force u will have to use. they are 10mm in size and they are about 12-18 of them im not sure but it should be a piece of cake.. remember get good jackstands and make sure the car is not moving around!!

your going to have to take off the passengers side engine mount, so your going to have to rig a way to keep the engine from tilting over

yeah.. is gonna be a bitch unless u have maybe a fourth jack so u can keep that side from tilting over..the bolt are not like stuck there they should be hard to get out..
