Re: need help on removing oil pan on 56 fairlane

In most domestic RWD cars made in the past 50 years you cannot remove the oil pan without removing the engine from the car.

You might be able to unbolt the engine and trans mounts and hoses and lift the engine an inch or two with an engine hoist to get clearance, but it's dangerous to work on an engine hanging from a hoist like that.
