I have a 1984 toyota pick up and we are trying to change the oil pan gasket but we are having trouble getting the tie rods of to get to it. I read somewhere that you need a tie-rod-end puller or a two-jaw unit. What is this used for? Never messed with tie rods before so I want to make sure I dont mess the truck up but I NEED to change that gasket. Let me know if you can give me some advise I can even take pictures if you would like. Thanks!1984 Toyota PIckup - how to remove tie rods to get to oil pan?
The first thing you need to do is stop by your local auto parts store and pic up the repair manual for your toyota.
Then, read up on the repair. Buy, borrow or rent the tools you need to remove the oil pan and get to work.1984 Toyota PIckup - how to remove tie rods to get to oil pan?

I have a local parts store that rents the tools for the tie rods. You leave a deposit and then get every penny back when you are done. The even told me that if I break the tool thats no problem. Don't get the pickle fork, that might damage the tie rod ends, make sure it's the puller that you have to tighten down to pop them off.
The best stuff I've used for that oil pan is the Toyota FIPG gasket maker. It's a tube of RTV type stuff and works great at sealing up that oil pan. They sell it at the dealer for like $5.

How do i raise the motor to change the oil pan gasket on a 98 buick regal?
as far as I know, you don't have to lift the engine, just drop the pan from underneath. Now, if you DO have to lift the engine, there are a few ways to do it but they are fairly involved. your best bet is to take it to a mechanic and have them do it.gears of war on xbox 360 can't calibrate printer
How to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
My 2001 Honda Accord has recently been leaking oil and it coming from the oil pan. Can anyone help me on how to open it and replace the gasket or to tell me what i should do. ThanksHow to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
Pretty straight forward. Get it up in the air, get everything out of the way, take the bolts out, and drop the pan. Make sure you use a name-brand or a Honda seal set.Go easy on the RTV if it calls for it-too much will push out and possibly cause a problem with the oil pump pickup screen.How to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
first drain the oil in a clean pan if you plan on reusing it, there may be a cross-member or exaust pipe in your way, you have to remove those, just remove all the bolts that are holding up the pan, bring the pan straight down because there is an oil pump screen that the pan can get hung up on, after removing the pan, scrape off all the old gasket material making sure you have a smooth dry surface put your new gasket onto, you can use gasket glue to hold the gasket on, make sure you clean the surface on the bottom of the engine too. when you put the bolts back in , make sure you tighten them back and forth, don't tighten any of them until you have all of your bolts started, and don't over tighten them cause this can make it leak, hope this helps, it should'nt be too hard to do if you have some mechanical knowhow. good luck!How to change 2001 Accord oil Pan?
just like the previous answer, just take it apart. Its not too complicated. If you need help, there is always repair manuals that will walk you through step-by-step. They are and most auto stores or online. autozone.com i know has some. You can also check Honda's website for addition info on ow to do it and what type of stuff you should use. However, ur car is only 8-9 yrs old and u shouldn't have this problem. It could just be something small like a loose bolt or just over-spill from whoever put the oil in. Hopefully its nothing more serious like a rear main seal or something like that. When you take the pan off, check to see if everything is tight and make sure the oil is coming from where the pan meets the engine block. if everything is tight and that IS where the oil is coming from, the replacing the gasket should fix the problem. If not, work your way up and see if you can find the leak. Also, if you have more than 75,000 miles, I recommend using some type of %26quot;high mileage%26quot; oil. This help keep the seal and everything from breaking down. Good luck!!

How to replace a oil pan gasket on a 1997 pontiac firebird?
I need to know how to change the oil pan gasket on my car?How to replace a oil pan gasket on a 1997 pontiac firebird?
drain the oil out, loosen the bolts around the outer edge of the oil pan, take the oil pan off, scrape the old gasket off with a puddy knife and off the engine block if necessary and finally put some liquid gasket(not alot) around the edge of the oil pan then put the gasket on top of the pan and bolt it back up. look on some firebird forums online for more details.How to replace a oil pan gasket on a 1997 pontiac firebird?
I'm pretty sure that you'll need to get the motor out of the car to do this on that year firebird. I don't think you can do it in the car.

How do I change the Valve/Oil pan Gaskets on Honda Prelude?
I have done this before on a Jeep, and wonder if there is anything to watch out for, or any tricks involved in changing the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.
Thanks
btw it is an 98 Honda PreludeHow do I change the Valve/Oil pan Gaskets on Honda Prelude?
take a picture of the oil pan and valve covers b-4 removing any bolts(cell phone camera is handy here)making notes (mental or written)of bolt sizes ,lengths etc.place them in separate boxes .clean the mating surfaces of old gasket, dirt etc. glue the new gaskets to their respective parts(hi-temp RTV works ok or permatex) replace the parts and DO NOT overtighten the bolts, run them up %26quot;snug%26quot; or finger tight then working from the middle outwards torque them down according to mfg specs 1/8th of a turn at a time for each bolt in 'criss-cross fashion until all are tight usually 2-3 rounds of sequence tightening is plenty. overtightening causes the metal to 'dimple' around the bolt hole creating leaksHow do I change the Valve/Oil pan Gaskets on Honda Prelude?

Take the motor mounts loose from the block. Put a jack under something solid on the engine and jack it up. It won't be easy, but you should be able to maneuver the oil pan out. You will probably have to pull the starter and possibly exhaust manifolds.How change an oil pan on bronco?
