Ok I've looked at my maitenance manual on how to replace the pan gasket and it sounds fairly simple, but when I googled it I saw a video where the person doing that exact job said you have to remove on side of the sway bar and strut to pull the pan. But I've been under my Jeep enough times and there looks to be enough clearance for the pan to come out just fine.

I've tried searching for a thread on here that talks about it but no luck.

Anyone ever done this and how easy was it?

 

Since you say a 4.7 I assume you have a GC??? You may want to ask the guys in the GC section since this is the XJ section.

 

YAAAA, I just realized it was in the wrong section.. my bad!
