How do I remove the oil pan bolts that are directly above the crossmember? Trying to change the leaky oil pan gasket but ran into this little problem. Any help appreciated.
 
you'll have to raise the engine off of the mounts to be able to clear enough of the crossmember for both the bolts, and dropping the pan far enough to properly replace the gasket... I had to yank mine out a couple weekends back to replace my pan gasket that didn't seal up correctly, but I also have an extra capacity pan in mine, and the motor has been out 3 times in the last 3 years....
