in car oil pan removal to repair leaks
 

When you remove the left and right front crossmember rear
braces (diagonal braces) including unbolting the motor mounts from them for oil pan
fastener access, does the motor need to be supported? The FSM does not clearly address
this and it's not obvious by looking. Other than this, it looks pretty straight forward. .
Any tips and tricks?
Thanks!

Not a problem. The K members can be removed with no concern for engine support.

hardest part is getting to those tiny bolts up front on the pan

I used a long 1/4 extension with a swivel and was able to get it done

mine was leak free and now is seeping a bit again

time do reapeat

take the time to clean up the threads with brake cleaner and use some mild locktite on the bolts

it will help!

Done!
No leaky (yet,..)
The hardest part was screwing with the tubing
that drains the area under the plenum and ends behind
the plate you remove at the bottom of the bell housing.
Holding it out of the way when reinstalling the pan was a
pain. Solved the problem by cutting an inch and a half off it.
And before you say it, it does not now hit that flywheel or anything else.
