I am working on a 2.4 and have engine in car, don't have cherry picker to remove.... anyway, trying to remove the oil pan and have all but one bolt out and can't get to it due to a collar/spacer in the way by the bell housing/oil pan.. has bolt coming from bell housing thru collar/spacer thru oil pan w/ a nut on it. took the nut off but don't/can't slide bolt out of way to get the collar off to get to the last bolt in oil pan. afraid if i force the bolt out/ into bell housing or trany oil pan, if that's where it goes to, that i will not get it back in place w/o ripping more apart.. want to check bottom end for crank damage and this is stopping me. PLEASE HELP!!!
thanks
Bob
