Need to replace oil pan gasket and it seems hard to get to. Any suggestions or easy ways to get there would be appreciated..

 

its a pain, im currently doing the same thing and i believe it might just be rtv used on the oil pan not an actual gasket... i know so far ive removed the front motor mount bracket the starter and a couple metal plates that are convienently in the way of the pan bolts. not a very friendly design setup pretty pointless actually. its not difficult at all it just takes patience and time and it makes it seem like your having to do way to much work for something so simple.

 

wow i just noticed your post was a while ago did you do it yourself? mines still sittin in the driveway i got stuck on one last stubborn bolt to remove a plate so i can access the oil pan bolts.. its been cold as hell so ive been waiting till it gets warmer to finish the rest.
