Replacing Gasket on Oil Pan

[The Baron]

My oil pan was leaking, because the old gasket was no good. I went onto motormathem to get the manual and figure out how to remove the oil pan. I removed the torque converter cover, undid all of the bolts on the oil pan, and right when I was taking it off I realized the
transmission oil cooler line was in the way, the manual said nothing about it. Anyone know what I should do to get this thing off?

drain the coolant and dis-connect it if it's in the way . . . I haven't had to replace the gasket on mine yet.

I meant the transmission oil cooler line

You can disconnect them it at the trans. Note position of top vs. bottom trans cooler lines.

Looks like Oil Pan removal is covered here:

3-7.1. ENGINE OIL PAN REPLACEMENT.


If it were me (and my truck) I would certainly do the rear main seal as well. This is explained in the CUCV Wiki: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showwiki.php?title=wiki:Cucv#Models

transmission lines unboly top of transmission. if im not mistaken you need to pull fly wheel cover also. I did mine a while back. My suggestion is while you have it down change your rear main seal and the oil pump. Its a pita to get it done but you don't want to do it twice. You have to jack up the front of the truck also cause the diff breather is in the way also.

I managed to get my oil pan off without moving the transmission lines. That said, it probably would have been a lot easier had I taken them off.
