Recently i cracked my oil pan by tightening the oil pressure sensor a bit too tight. i Tried to JB Weld it with Marine Weld but it can only hold so much heat-ness. Oil keeps seeping out no matter how much jb weld i put on, so i had to give in and accept the fact that I'm gonna have to drop the subframe to remove the upper oil pan.

Does anyone know of a DIY or can at least give me steps? Pictures will help out. *Picture is worth a thousands words*

TIA!

i just need to know if someone has brought down their front subframe. I asked acidjake75 and he said he pulled out the motor from the top with a cherry picker. its my daily and i have to keep asking people for rides. Asking for rides is not something i like doing :'( Thats why I'm in much need of help.

 

i get that, jake is a very knowledgeable guy, he used to do all the work on my z when i had it. unfortunately for you this is not a simple fix

 

i know Although would you know where to strap the engine if I'm using an engine leveler to hold up the engine while i take the whole subframe out? or know someone that may know? I'm trying to avoid strapping it around or on the upper oil pan.

 

we used a makeshift bracket, let me try to remember where we attached it
