My oil pan is rusting out and i plan on getting a new one soon. How hard is it to replace? What do i have to do to put it in like what things do i have to take out as in transmission or whatever??

Re: Oil Pan

Do you have a haynes or chilton's manual? If not, buy one, read it,
then ask questions.

And no I'm pretty sure the tranny doesnt have to come out.

your post was almost right, you just left out the part about repainting it... to protect it
There are rust cleaner kits
I would clean all the rust off and spray paint over it really good

Re: Oil Pan

ya, i know you wanna change it out (hard to do)
but im saying you can just easily repair it real quick

but, its a critical component so if you insist on swapping it out, go for it

Re: Oil Pan

haha im not insisting on swapping it out i just wanna polish it in paint it but im most critical about how to get it off like what other components i have to take out to get that oil pan offff Thanx for the help

Re: Oil Pan

i wouldnt take it off just to paint it, unless there was a area you couldnt get to.
Youre gonna have to have an engine lift i believe. its alot of work, but i havent done it before
