He will work on it like most any other mechanic, on top of that, he won't feel the need to come to a forum to mask his inadequacies by blaming the car
You really need to stay with just pumping gas into your vehicles. I have not read a single post of yours yet that leads me to believe you have the ability to use any tool other than a credit card to fix your XJ.

How many European and Japanese cars do you own? I own several.
With those cars, when you remove the bolts, the part actually comes off.
This is they are so easy to work on.

Short of buying a Yugo, you aren't going to find a vehicle much easier to work on that the XJ. You're doing something wrong, however it is entertaining so please continue.

You backed out Bummer? Dang it, I was needing the 40 hour step by step on replacing the solenoids.
Also AW4 solenoid replacement is cake compared doing them in a KL Cherokee and that is a simple repair also except for the 10 solenoids.

lol, was entertaining, but youse all a bit cruel
no one mentioned he should feel all round the pan in case he missed a bolt
or tap the pan with a mallet (or hammer), as pans very often stick hard to the gasket
or even to take a little a couple of hours extra, drop the cross member & and pan right out of the way, which makes things less seem less intimidating if you have not worked inside an auto before...with being laid on yr back, on the ground etc
a mechanic would normally grind ya for this sort of job, unless he was yr mate

Well, ya gotta understand there's a history here. He's been posting this kind of stuff for years, and it's hard to believe that someone so inept would really keep trying. Many are persuaded that he's just a troll. Probably one of the old-timers here who has some fun now and then with a fake account.

No worries, all good, I should of put a smiley face
now that I think back, had to gently tap a scraper and cut most of the gasket, thats pretty common on any vehicle I have worked on
some PO had also mangled the internal trans pipes, by some inept attempt to remove the pan without dropping crossmember
I just find it better if you can easily see and get to things easily, IF you have never done the job before, easier gasket clean up etc etc
am OCD on soaking corroded fasteners well beforehand, and anti-sieze
Excellent Forum!
