FC oil pan remove & reinstall question

Pete_89T2 · 11-13-2010, 08:06 AM

I need to remove & reinstall my oil pan to deal with a leaky pan gasket, obviously with the engine still in the car. Lacking an engine hoist to lift & support the engine in order to remove the passenger side engine mount, what's the best way to do this job? I was figuring with the car up on jack stands, I could use my floor jack to lift up the engine/tranny from the tranny's bellhousing. Would this be a safe & effective way to do the job, or should I just rent an engine hoist and follow the FSM?

Thanks,
Pete
