Default Oil pan removal advice

The two half inch bolts on the pan by the trans. have a collar from the pan to the trans. How do you remove those bolts to get the pan off. I am having trouble even getting a wrench to fit and no way to turn them. I havent pulled the starter yet but I might be able to get that side off but the driver side looks almost impossible. The exaust is in the way also. How did you do it ? Waiting in a pile of grease for you answer. Thanks a million. Sandyman

Drop the exhaust and starter.

If you are talking about the last two bolts at the rear main??? Use an extension and tap lightly with a hammer until the socket seats on the nut.

Yea, sounds like that awesome rear main. I found that a wobble with a long extension gets those suckers out.
