I'm in the process of timing cover gasket replacement and now I need to replace the oil pan gasket. (2002 3.0 4wd Auto) I've dropped the front axle but still can't get the pan all the way off. I've been told you can loosen the transmission bolts and slide the transmission back a half inch or so and get the pan off.
I need help on what to do to slide the tranny back? Do I have to disconnect the transfer case? Unbolt the cross member? I've got a factory manual but I feel it has me taking half of the truck apart. Are there any tricks to doing this?
I've tried to get the old gasket out around the oil pickup with no such luck already. I thought I may be able to snake the new gasket in there.
Any help is appreciated.
