Thanks Josh

I changed my oil pan today, using your advice.

My old pan was cracked around the dipstick seam. due to rust and vibration.

I was able to manage the 4 rear bolts with about one inch clearance
with the jack under the pan.
I used a three eight drive with universal. half inch drive is too bulky.

when I got the pan back on I found the dipstick tube wouldn't go,
so had to take it off again and get the tube in before doing the bolts.
I used a cork gasket and Permatex number two.

not an easy job but better than taking the engine out of the car.

Thanks, Craig NY

You're welcome. Glad you got it fixed and back together.
