Oil Pan Removal 83 F-100 - Ford F150 Forum

HeyMike · 03-06-2012, 10:46 PM

I am trying to remove the oil pan on my 83 F-100 (300 6cyl). I have followed the procedures in the manual but it just wont come out.

I have taken loose the two front motor mount and raised the engine. I have taken all the oil pan bolts off and dropped the pan to the crossmember. I then removed the oil pump and pick up tube. I also removed the rear crossmber and raised the transmission but I still don't have enough clearance for the oil pan to slide out.

I am afraid of raising the engine any higher. Is it safe to raise the engine by using a floor jack with a 2x4 on the crank pully?

Thanks

hey how you doing today, try to go up as high as you can you may have to unbolt the rear trans mount use a jack on the trans and rember make sure the dam thing don't fall on you or fall on your hand don't get under it or put your hand were it can be smash, now the more that i think about it every pan i took off i all ways jack up the trans,,,thanks,,,,keith
