Integra ls oil pan question?

Question

does anyone know if the exhaust manifold needs to come off in order to take the pan off. It has a huge crack in it and needs to come off. I assume this is something that is pretty easy, take the bolts off slide it off and take the gasket off and put in the new the way the old came out.

Answer 1

Take off whatever is in the way but a lot of times you can get attachments for your rachets and wrenchs that bend.

Answer 2

your gonna have to take the manifold off to get to a couple of bolts easier...and it would also be more convenient with it off to get the pan off and on....plus youll be able to align the gasket better...

Answer 3

I believe your exhaust manifold if a 2 piece.

u can take of the bottom part that connects to the cat. converter.

thats it, oil pan comes right off.
