Oil pan got dented BIG time
« on: 16 July 2026, 12:31:44 »
Hey everyone it's my first post in here, yesterday I was driving on a dirt road, I had to go over some rocks and dumb me didn't see a rock, it hit my oil pan badly ;( , now I want to remove the pan and straighten the dent, my question is, is it hard? I see the crossmember blocking it but can I just unbolt the crossmember/subframe (idk which it is) and drop the pan? Or do I need to support the engine and such (1995 2.0 8v btw) ? Thank yall

You'll need to undo the engine mounts and lift it up. Easy enough with a scaffolding pole , some big blocks of wood on the strut tops and a ratchet strap.

That said, the lower oil pan should be easy enough to remove without lifting the engine. :-\
