91 S4- Oil Pan Gasket- will the pan come out?
Im in the process of changing the steering rack and engine mounts. A few people suggested that i change the oil pan gasket at the same time which seems totaly logical.
I removed all the bolts(not so easy). Then i tried tro remove the pan, which doesnt work as the sump and opther parts that are in the deep part of the pan wont let me move the pan foward. I raised the engine a bit but it still wong give enough room. Am i doing anything wrong and is there any reason that i actually need to take the pan out. I think that i can get the new gasket on without removing the pan.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
