oil pan

[ct96mitsug]

does anybody know an easy was to remove the oil pan from a 7g? i got all the bolts off except one that is impossible to get to because its right up against the transmission, does anyone know a trick to getting hard to reach bolts out? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

well just get a socket 10mm put it on a wrench with the extension

I know the bolt your talking about. Its the second one on the rear of the engine by the trasmission. The axle is in the way. You have to use a 10mm open end wrench from the top of the axle.

a socket even with an extension wont fit because theres this rubber boot right next to it so that prevents any kind of socket to get in there. but ill try the open end wrench later. bear in mind im doin this in my driveway on jackstands so its kinda hard to fit under there. thanks for the help though
