Update, got all the pan bolts undone, but not sure how to remove pan from under neath the truck
If its a 2.6 it's a pita because you need to lift the motor a lilnto get the pan off.
yeah lifted the motor and did what i needed to do, but now i cant seem to get the mounts lined up. ever had this issue??
its lined up front to back of the bay, but the mount bolts and holes wont line up.
You should try the 2.0L in an 86. The mounts are a total PIA to line up. I found if you jam a screw driver in the hole and line them up as best as possible tha way it can help a little. I'm not sure if its the bolt threading or what but getting them started is not fun. I spent almost 3 hours one night trying to get one lined up. I finally undid the other side and lined up the hard side and stuck a rod into the holes to line them up and fianlly got it. They are difficult.
I will give that a shot. Was it still hanging from the hoist when you did this?
