Mother of all oil pans
« on: September 04, 2007, 12:20:31 AM »
My upper oil pan won't come off.  I can move the front side to side and up & down, but it acts like it's stuck.  I jacked the engine up and it looks like there is plenty of room for it to fall out.

I removed the three torx bolts at the bellhousing, and all the inner & outer bolts at the front & down the sides.   Is there a hidden bolt at the back that I'm missing?
I\'m in Birmingham, AL.
