Pulling oil pan

[matuva]

My oil pan is leaking like a cow pissing in the field :mad2::mad2::mad2:

I used Permatex "make a gasket", and will never again...

Now, I have to pull the oil pan.

Anybody has already done that with the engine inside the bay? We are willing to do that by looseneing motor mount and lifting the engine, instead of taking out the front end.

Any tip & trick to share?

Sooo, it seems we're going the front differential take out route....

I also have been suggested to lift the engine 1 inch, and release the 2 lower bolt of the differential and swing it. This should give me enough place...
