Alright I'm removing my oil pan to clean it out. The problem I've ran into is on the driver side of the pan. Theres a peice of some sort connected to it the one that has a pulley on the front of it. Well I can't figure out what kind of wrench or rachet on the two top bolts because one there isnt enough clearance to get a rachet in the area. If someone can help me out Id greatly appreciate it.

 

this is going to sound wierd but if u are looking at the oil pan from the bottom the two bolts that are at the bottom come out then the mount slides down u have to sepereate it from the oil pan it looks like one piece because of the dirt.

 

 

The A/C compressor has to be unbolted from the mounting bracket, then the pan can be removed. I don't recall having any issues getting a 14mm wrench to the bolts on it.

 

 

Yup.. I just did the oil pan the other day with a friend.. and you have to remove the bolts that hold the AC Compressor to get to the other bolts. Have fun! After that, it's pretty easy.

Here's a picture of the A/C mounting block. It's the only shot in this area that I have. I did the oil jet bold swap when I first got my car. I remember freaking out that I would have to take the A/C compressor out and was very happy once I figured out that it could stay in place and oil pan removed by just taking out two bolts.
