Removing The Oil Pan

[imported_RST531]

Ok i just need a lil help removing the oil pan. I figured out to remove the flywheel cover to get to a couple of bolts that were covered. but the question now is do i need to remove my header to get the pan completely off. cause i have all the bolts off but the pan doesnt seem to get out, its there a certain way to do it without removing the header?

I just removed/installed an oil pan the other day on my b-series.

Here are the steps:

* Remove the 3 nuts on the header/manafold (located on the bottom side)
* Carefully drop it down. (you may also have to drop some of the exhaust pipe hangers as well. )
* Remove the flywheel cover.
* Remove the . . . I think it was 18 bolts/nuts <--- what ever it is that you've got from the oil pan.
* Drop er' down and you're all set.

Reverse what I just said for the re-install!

you might have to remove the header/exhaust so that you can drop the pan down.. i looked in my haynes and it didn't say anything about the exhaust sorry man.
