Hello.

How do i remove the oil pan on a 5.2 ZJ?
I already removed the starter and the exhaust but the oil pan doesn't come down.
Please help me!

Thanks.

Make sure you have all of the bolts out and the inspection cover off of the transmission bellhousing, then you may have to gently pry the pan off at the corners. You may have to jack the body up enough to let the axle droop far enough to let the pan slide out.

OIL PAN
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
(3) Remove the oil pan drain plug and drain the
engine oil.
(4) Remove the oil filter.
(5) Remove the starter (refer to Group 8B, Battery/
Starter/Generator Service).
(6) If equipped with an oil level sensor, disconnect
the sensor.
(7) Position the cooler lines out of the way.
(8) Disconnect the oxygen sensor.
(9) Remove exhaust pipe.
(10) Remove the oil pan bolts. Carefully slide the
oil pan and gasket to the rear. If equipped with an oil
level sensor, take care not to damage the sensor.

INSTALLATION
(1) Fabricate 4 alignment dowels from 5/16" x 1 1/2"
inch bolts. Cut the head off the bolts and cut a slot
into the top of the dowel. This will allow easier
installation and removal with a screwdriver.
(2) Install the dowels in the cylinder block in the four outer most corners of the the oil pan attaching surface.
(3) Apply small amount of Mopar Silicone Rubber
Adhesive Sealant, or equivalent in the corner of the
cap and the cylinder block.
(4) Slide the one-piece gasket over the dowels and
onto the block.
(5) Position the oil pan over the dowels and onto
the gasket. If equipped with an oil level sensor, take
care not to damage the sensor.
(6) Install the oil pan bolts. Tighten the bolts to 24
N·m (215 in. lbs.) torque.
(7) Remove the dowels. Install the remaining oil
pan bolts. Tighten these bolts to 24 N·m (215 in. lbs.)
torque.
