Cannot get the oil pan out after removing bolts. It can't get past the sway bar. The bolts for the sway bar are corroded beyond redemption. No amount of penetrating oil or heat will get them out. Engine mounts are just as bad. Should I remove the bell housing?
How else can I remove the oil pan?

If you are unable to lift the engine or remove the sway bar, that is about the only way I can think of. Are the bolt heads stripped? Can you upload a couple of pics so I can see what you are dealing with? I may have a few ideas.

Are you able to remove the converter cover to gain the room needed?

Let me know.

Take care.
