I finally got the oil pan out from under my stock Jeep. I couldn't get it the back like most do. I removed the oil pump with the strainer and the track bar and it came out the front with know problem. Glad to get this done finally. Can start cleaning everything and get the rear seal replaced.

This will help you when you install the pan back on.

INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the block and pan gasket surfaces.
(2) Fabricate 4 alignment dowels from 1 1/2 x 1/4
inch bolts. Cut the head off the bolts and cut a slot
into the top of the dowel. This will allow easier
installation and removal with a screwdriver (Fig. 72).
(4) Apply Mopart Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant
on cylinder block to rear main bearing cap corners
and cylinder block to front cover joints (four
places) (Fig. 74).
(5) Slide the one-piece gasket over the dowels and
onto the block and timing case cover.
(6) Position the oil pan over the dowels and onto
the gasket. If equipped with an oil level sensor, take
care not to damage the sensor.
(7) Install the 1/4 inch oil pan bolts. Tighten these
bolts to 9.5 N·m (84 in. lbs.) torque. Install the 5/16
inch oil pan bolts (Fig. 75). Tighten these bolts to 15
N·m (132 in. lbs.) torque.
