hi everybody!
the part in my car i hate most of all is my oil pan
today i spent about 5 hours to get it through subframe, but it's still there!
please, tell me, what should i do to get it out? I lift up my engine, so i need only about 2 or 3 cm

 

Drop the subframe. ---> https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hlight=oil+pan

 

Where can i find bolts on subframe which i need to remove? I know i need to re-align subframe after removal, can i just loose bolts?

 

You can actually just loosen the two rear bolts on the back of the subframe to give yourself the extra clearance. I also assume you have already reached up in bewtween the oil pan and engine and removed the oil pick up tube. If you have yet to remove the oil pick up tube you will never get the oil pan out of the car.

 

Yes, i removed oil pick up tube. Also yesterday i loosen some bolts, but i think it was another because i got only about 0,5cm. Can anybody show me what bolts i need to remove?

What I did....

 

btw, you remove the 6 subframe bolts/nuts. Dont loosen the others that connect to the suspension. Then you can pull the subframe down around 3 inches, and no realignment is needed when you put it back together. You dont need to remove the oil pickup tube either just move the oil pan around til it clears the strainer.

 

Are you talking about these 6 bolts/nuts?

 

that looks like them.

 

Hmmm......seems to match pretty close what the guy I linked to did.

 

^ The resemblance is uncanny

 

Why not just lift the engine from above a bit? :/

 

It sounds like he already has but still needs a little more room.
