My mechanic said that I need my oil pan replaced but the bolts that need to be replaced are rusted. He is afraid to remove them because it may not work and could hurt the engine they are attached to.

Anyone had experience with type of situation?

Good afternoon,

The bolts just bolt to the block and cannot damage the engine. He just does not want to do the job.

You need a new shop that will remove the bolts. It is not that difficult if you have the correct tools.
