Ight, was out in my drive way since 9am trying to get that oil pan from under my jeep. I tried EVERYTHING you can possible think of. Had friends, family and neighbors trying and NOBODY could do it. Guess ima try to fix it without taking the oil pan out.. I think my jeep was made different then every other one in America.

 

Sawsall?....sorry to hear tho man

 

Yeah. Lol I was about ready to go chain saw massacre on it. Lol I was so mad at my jeep today! >:0

 

I don't blame u I was pissed at mine few days ago

 

What was up with yours?

 

my exhaust was hot and I was tearing the muffler off with a BFH and my header was still very much hot...and ker-snap cracked my header..:/ If it cracked with a lil vibration I figured time to upgrade

 

Wow nice. Yeah might be time for an upgrade! Lol

 

Can you post a few pictures of what you've got going on? I'm definitely curious as to what the hang up is.

 

kind of a silly question is the exaust in your way? i have had to remove the exaust on a few of them ive done just an idea i hope it helps

 

These are the only pics I got as of now---
The front of the oil pan is hitting that thing->>


And it's getting caught in between that and the axle. I removed some bolts trying to give it more room and unbolted the exhaust manifold yet it still will not come out!

 

you need to get the front axle out of the way it seems thats all thats holding you back. im not sure on what bolt is striped that you are talking about BUT a torch and a turbo socket will take care of that

 

I'm not familiar on how to remove an axle but the bolt I'm talking about it one of the five that hold my tire on. (which is a bad thing)

 

You need to take your tranny inspection plate off. You won't need to completely remove your axle, you just need to get it to drop enough. I've done it leaving the wheels on, I just had to get it up high enough on jackstands. Do you have jackstands under your frame rails? Did you watch part one of the video I posted that showed my WJ up on jackstands and the axle dropping down?

 

Yes it is on jack stands and yes I did watch the video. Havnt taken the tranny plate off though

 

Not doubting you bud, just trying to imagine in my head what's holding you up and the axle drop is the only thing that jumps out. Hang in there man.
