    Default stuck on the oil pickup tube

    Ive loosened all the bolts and the pan wont drop. Ive tapped it with a mallet and nothing. Im guessing there is no way in hell to get it off without that extra clearance either?

    I missed one up front when I did mine. It is also holding the battery/starter cable I think.
    Also don't forget the two going into the transmission.

    I believe I got those Greg. Those two also hold on the timing chain cover I think. Im going to recheck again. U would think it would just fall but maybe im wrong.

    Don't forget the rearmost ones, larger, and will keep the pan from dropping (gotta pull the small black covers to get to them).
    Yes for us larger guys that screw can be a pain!
