Just wondering if anyone has replaced an oil pan in a Tacoma? I got my trusty 2.7 4 squirrel motor and I think I've hit the oil pan enough to swap it out. It looks like I need to remove the front diff to get it in and out. Are there any tricks here I need to be aware of?
Some questions just because
Do I need to pull both CV axles or could I just pull one and then pull away from the other side?
I got manual hubs, I believe there is a snap ring holding the CV in place, any tricks getting the aisin hubs off? Looks like I'm stuck on the cone washers holding it.
Am I just over thinking it and just leave it attached and detach the diff from cross member and hang it from some straps and that provides enough clearance to pull the pan?
