I have a 1997 chevy blazer. I need to replace the oil pan gasket. They tell me I have to pull the frount axle and all stearing bars to drop the pan. Is this true?
If not, wat do I do?

They are correct. And there is FAR more to it than that. The pan has to be aligned VERY closely and measured to make sure that you don't damage the transmission.

This is one of those times when you NEED the book.
