Oil pan

Hello, I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport that has an oil leak and I've unscrewed the oil pan and everything but i can't get it out from underneath the vehicle. Its getting stuck on the tranny where the flywheel is and on the axle and the torsion bar. What do I do to get the oil pan out?

Check to see if the starter is in the way. The haynes manual suggests removing the starter before dropping the oil pan.

Do you have the front lifted with the suspension hanging?

1999. We had to take my track bar off IIRC.

Humble tip...when you do break it free, I'd take very careful note/pics (if possible) of the exact orientation it comes out at. Seemed to be only one "sweet spot" to get mine out and same for going back in
