Default Re: Oil pan removal in a 1936 pickup

I pulled the pan off my 36 pickup, it took me 3.5 hrs to get it off. you need to jack up the truck and get the weight off the axle, remove the wheals, exhaust manifold on the drivers side and crossover pipe. remove the fuel pump tower, generator, unbolt the motor mounts and jack up the motor as high as you can get it. then loosen the u bolts and take off the cup for the wishbone. also remove the starter motor. if I pulled out the front axle I think it would have been easier. but you can do it with out doing that. I put some sockets
under the motor mount brackets to get the motor as high as I could so I could get the jack out from under the truck. then you need to pull the wishbone as far as you can get it and wedge a block of wood in between the frame to get it down. their is a bolt on the top of the block by the starter motor that you cant see from the bottom. also you need to remove all four radiator hoses. then when you get every thing out of the way and unbolted you need to rotate the motor to clear the counter Wait I was able to put the pickup back together in about 2.5 hr good luck and it can be done I did it...Brendan
