And don't use a new Captain America penny for this...
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

still haven't gotten a chance to take it apart.
How hard is it to remove the oil pan with the engine installed. I just took a look at the manual and it sounds like it wants me to pull the engine, first step is to remove the hood.

Remove crossmember and a couple of front diff carrier bolts and it comes off pretty easy, at least on the 3.0. 2.6 should be the same.

well I got it all torn down, just about to pull the oil pan, hopefully it's not too bad in there.

Does anyone have any tricks for getting the oil pan off? I removed all the bolts but it doesn't want to come off, I assume it's just the gasket but I don' want to mess it up by prying too hard.

Plastic gift card under the gasket with carb cleaner works for me.
Work it around like a putty knife and it should get it all off. Follow up with a razor blade on the engine side and a brass brush on the pan itself.
Good luck!

tap it around with a rubber mallet.
If the bearing has already spun, the crank needs to be turned or replaced.

I cut the side rail seal with a 6in1 painter/drywaller's tool, like a fancy putty knife with a paint roller cleaner halfround on the side, and a wide, edge sharp head, and a hammer. THe fsm shows a similar "special tool"...
THen I smack the side of the pan sump with a soft head hammer, or shield the metal with a piece of wood and smack that. It will pop loose.

Got the pan loose. How do I actually remove it? Seems like the motor needs to come up like 5" before the pan can clear the front axle and slide out.
