Hi there and a happy new year to everyone in this forum !

Thanks to my lowering kit (which is in since 10 years now) I finally managed to say hello to the road with my oilpan which now is leaking.

Is there a special way to remove it from the cast iron block ? I have removed all screws - even the 2 in the flywheel area and the 2 mounted to the transmission case but still the pan does not want move.
The seal between oilpan and block is liquid.
Any hint witout damaging trhe oilpan ?

best regards
Herbert

Have you removed the 'secondary' part of the tank on the side of the engine facing the firewall?

Thanks,
got it out finally.
I used lots of wooden little ramps (with triangled shape) and a hammer as it was very tight. The only thing to notice is that the extension where the pump sucks oil from the pan has to be loosened (two M6 screws) to lift the pan down.
