2000 Toyota Corolla

Hi there,

Jack up and drain sump. Remove exhaust, from memory your lower engine brace is not an issue, but if it is over the sump it will have to be removed as well. Undo all sump bolts, now these sumps are chemically sealed(no gasket) so they are a bugger to shift. (Sorry Aussie term for hard) there is a special tool for breaking the seal, just be careful if you use a screwdriver you don't damage anything. When sump off clean all mating surfaces and use only the Toyota engine sealant. Follow instructions on tube and you will have no problems.
