The subframe cross member blocks the rear of the oil pan. Making it diffucult to access the bolts and screws on the rear of the oil pan. Here check out what I am talking about....
The dreaded hole
The subframe is down about 8 inches
Still barely enough room, and ya thats part of the oil pan. The subframe tucks all the way up in there where the ratchet is, it had to come down
The nut, forcing me to slide the oil pan forward when it comes off
The snub mount that is preventing me from sliding the pan forward, and that flat plate goes up the block and connects to the block up by the belts on the front of the block

Its a oil pan, but I am seeing what I can find from your suggestion. I did a bunch of different searches, but never could find a diy oil pan removal. I have the link for the bently manual. But it wants to download in zip. So I have never downloaded it.

Or, for 17 dollars, go here https://checkout.alldatadiy.com/alld...75882/34853741, fill it in and use the Alldata manual information online.

So I tried your seach suggestion and all I could come up with using those key words were cd's and manuals to buy. Still trying other key words though.
