I need to change the front oil seal on my 1988 GTX street car. While I should have just used a dent puller to pull the seal, I noticed a small drip, hardly noticeable unless you are under the car, coming from the rear of the oil pan, so I decided to do the job "right" and reseal the oil pan while I was at it. However, after removing all the bolts and getting the oil pan loose, I found that the oil pan will not come off the car!!!!! The rear most corner of the pan interferes with a rib on the transmission. View from the front of the car, sort of:
View from the passenger side:
View from the Floor:
SO, how do I overcome this interference? The oil pan seems to be locked in place by a combination of this rib, the oil pump pickup tube and the rear main seal carrier. Is there some special way to twist the pan to get it off?
Thanks,
Bob
