didnt know if the oil pan was gone and i had to get it off the freeway and my work was like a block down so i took the chance. It seems to be fine we'll find out tonight.

any alternatives on getting the oil pan out. i dont exactly have a cherry picker for the engine sitting in my driveway lol. cost of towing is gonna be a bitch too so im trying to get it down here. maybe jacking up the engine enough to get the pan out ?

Where would you jack the engine from while still leaving room to get the pan out/off?

Rent a picker - the place down the street rents it for $35 a day - they're closed sundays, so if you rent it sat, you keep it until monday am.

Best way to do it man.

hmm gotta find a place down the street in glendale with pickers. still thinking of alternatives......

I changed the oil pan on my 325e without removing the engine it just takes some manipulation and you have to jack the engine.

I'll bet it took longer than it would with a picker - a lot longer, right?

[armeN]

Yeah, but the picker would cut the time in half at least...just my two cents...

[mikeedler]

shouldnt take more than an hour or 2 with or without a picker. 2 easy!

For who? A novice mechanic or an experienced wrencher?
