I've got a cracked sump and need to replace it. I do my own regular serving (changing the oil etc) and am reasonably handy - does anyone know if it's difficult to replace your sump? I'm hoping it's just drain the oil, undo some bolts, remove the sump, grab a new (2nd hand) one with a gasket of some type and bolt it on.
Is that about the size of it and is it relatively easy to do? Thanks! Shane |

Nope, infortunately not that simple.
You either have to pull the motor out or drop the K-frame. There isn't enought room to get the sump out with the engine and k-frame in place.

get and angine cran and pull the bolts out of the engine mounts, leave the transmission in place and transmission mounts attached. then pull the engine up and you should be able to sqeeze it through, its tight but doable. when new sump in place drop it back down into its place and put the engine mount bolts back in ... done
