The removal and replacement of an oil pan is a moderate to skilled level installation. The vehicle should be safely shop lifted or placed on rated jack stands (never a spare tire jack). The engine may need to be supported. The bolts should carefully be removed to avoid stripping the block. Once the pan is off the residual gasket material should be cleaned/scraped from the block to ensure a clean mating surface. The new pan can be installed with a gasket in reverse order. Once completed the engine can be refilled with oil and started to observe for leak integrity.
