Hope everyone is doing well,
Went to do an oil change and to my dismay, the nut for the oil pan plug fell off inside the pan. Does anyone have any ideas for what I should do? Seems that the only way is to pull the engine and either repair or replace the pan, hopefully with one that has a bung that is welded all the way around!
If anyone has any tips about dropping the pan without pulling the engine, let me know. Looks like the motor mounts are in the way, not to mention whatever difficulty the pickup may cause. Obviously the center link would have to be pulled, but I'm curious to see what you think.
