1995 LT1 6-speed camaro oil pan removal

[rbornio]

I have removed the exhaust, starter, oil filter and cooler, all of the oil pan bolts, the motor mount through bolts, and the air intake elbow. I have also jacked the engine up as far as it will go. The oil pan still will not come out at any crankshaft position. My Chilton's manual says it should. Please help! Ray

dont know what to tell ya boss, dont work on alot of em, and dont have on to crawl under and look at. i think your gonna have to loosen the front cradle, and let it fall down away from the body a little, to give ya the few extra inches your gonna need, just make sure that engine is very safly supported when you do this. you almost have to use a lift to to the job if im correct.
