I need to replace my oil pan Gasket. How would I go about removing the oil pan? has a write up been made for this? Because I see in a lot of different sites that I'm going to have to jack up the engine. Is there another way?

once you jack up your car you can see how it comes off.

I have jacked it up, there are all sorts of obstacles in removing it. I'm thinking I'm just going to remove things until I have a clear path for the pan, but I was just curious if there was a better way.

Theres usually just one way. Taking it out is an obstacle but putting it back is another. You would have to cross tighten, proper torque (i'd use a socket screwdriver to put back the bolts quickly first). Are you planning to use RTV only or just a gasket? Proper torque and tightening technique is the key. btw why would you need to change that?

the only thing that should be in your way may be your exhaust... i think it can still come off without touching the exhaust.. its just a bunch of 10mm bolts and a few 10 mm nuts... do not put a gasket on it, it will just leak... use toyota fipg...
