how do I get the oil pan off? I can't reach all the bolts. The front motor support bracket is in the way and I can't get it to come off.

You will have to loosen or remove all the motor mount bolts and raise engine (just a few inches) with a cherry picker to get to the pan bolts.

You will need to jack the car up first and then drain the oil.

Here are some diagrams to help you get the job done.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
