removing oil pan tonight

for anyone that's done this...

I'm following the FSM instructions, but how the hell do you get at the bolts at the front of the pan? The chassis and roll bars seem completely in the way.

I practiced last night to get ready, I could reach every bolt exept 2 at the front drivers side. They're impossible.

help!

thanks guys.

I removed the engine mount bolts and put a board on a jack and jacked up the oil pan a little bit, just enough so I could get the front row out, then I lowered it and did the rest.

I removed both engine mount bolts, and then just jacked the engine up a bit, then carefully set it back down on the mounts.

10MM universal (swivel) sockets are a MAJOR help here.
