Using a 2x4 pad or equivalent, gently jack under front of the engine
sump.
You need only 1/8â?? or so of lift in order to slip a wrench into the
cramped space, then a bit more for the fasteners to come out. Anticipate a
layer of oily dirt in this space.
Were I doing this again, I would first wash this area with Dawn dish
liquid. It is sold in a trigger bottle. I have recently learned of this, though
itâ??s not a new product, and found it to be helpful for pre-wrenching cleanup.
