removal of oil pan

[supraman508]

is it possible to remove the oil pan and replace the gasket without removing the engine or front axle?

 

[Zumtizzle]

nope.

Unfortunately, either the subframe or the engine need to be disconnected or removed.

Time for a rebuild?

Yes it is possible, I've done it with an extra 2" drop on my oil pan. It was a PITA but can be done.
