ok i have don everything i need to do to turbo my car i installed everything but i cant get the oil pan off to make a drain fitting for the turbo i have all the bolts out and its still really well sealed anyone have any tricks to get this off its a BI***!!!!! please help

 

i really dont know if this is what your really suppose to do but it worked for me. i took out my oil dip stick. wrapped a cloth around a pry bar and placed it where the dip stick went into the oil pan. then i took a hammer and hammered the **** out of it. afterwards i was able to go back underneath the car where the oil pan was nice and lose and took it right off.

 

Make SURE all the bolts are out... like 110 percent. The two trans bolts... the bolt hidden up in the A/C mount point... etc.

There is a notch on the passenger side, between the pan and the block (iirc, there's another one somewhere else too)... stick a pry bar or STONG screwdriver in there and pry it off CAREFULLY... you don't want to break anything.

You DID drain the oil first, right?

I do not recommend this method.

 

I took a rubber mallet or w/e and tapped around it then took a crowbar and leveraged on the back of it and it popped off, if it's the first time off it's a real pita i'll tell ya that lmao but it's easy

 

i tried the proper way first, just how you explained it. it was just a pain in the ass. my way works im just not responsible if something is broken haha

 

Like I said... I don't recommend it. Not saying it doesn't work. Haha.

 

lol his next thread will be titled: Broken oil pan need help!!

 

Exactly.

 

ya ill get it no problem everything els was cake

 

passenger front corner you left 1

 

That's the one I was thinking of too.

Just above that is the notch to remove the pan.

 

OP if you cant find it , its above the subframe ^_^
hope you haz skinny fingahs

 

You have to take out the lower A/C bolt, as well... iirc.

4 bolts must use open end
