Oil Pan Removal Note

  1. Set the wiring harness and wiring harness bracket out of the way to access the transaxle upper fitting bolts.
  2. Before loosening the bolts securing the engine and transaxle, put a mark on each transaxle bolt and the transaxle (to determine when they have been turned one full turn), then loosen the bolts one full turn (360°).
