There a hard bushing? Blocking the center two rear most lil pan bolts. I can't see how to remove it to get to the bolts. Here are a couple pics to show what I'm talkin about. It's a lil tough to see but that's the best pic I can do.

 

Can you circle or arrow the area you're asking about?

 

I'm on my fone so I can't edit it right now. The bolt is dead water in the pics though.

 

1/4 drive socket 10 mm and extension . Tight places need small tools..

 

Bolt looks bigger then the 11mm i pulled out from the side, thinkin its 13mm. It looks like there is a gasket on the outside of the pan and the plate covering the flywheel? Passenger side is a lil soft but the drivers side is rock hard on the same piece. Edited a pick, the bolt id the red arrow the other piece blocking it has the yellow arrow goin to it. I dunno if I need to pull that off and can I get a replacement if destroy it when I do?

 

My oil pan looks worse than your does. Glad your doing it first since I am doing mine tomorrow.

 

Im at a stand still till i figure out how to get those bolts off.

 

When I replaced my gasket the corner bolts were 13mm and the rest are 11mm. What happened to me was there was a lip on the pan that make it difficult to get to the bolt. Take a hammer and punch to the inside of the lip and hit it a bit until you can get to it. Do the same to your new pan too but be careful not to mess up the mounting surface. I had to and when I installed it with my gasket I used the felpro gasket, I have no leaks. Don't be cheap! Spend a little money and get the best you can. Its worth it

 

 

I have a Felpro one piece gasket but I was plannin on reusing the factory pan. Did you destroy you pan removing it?

 

13mm 1/4 drive...

 

What's that bit with the yellow arrow? Is the removable or part of the pan

 

thats what i would do, use 1/4 drive whatever socket fits,then 1/4 extension, and if i wanted more leverage,1/4 to 3/8 adapter with 3/8 ratchet.

 

So I just have to force the socket on and make it happen?

 

Anybody?
