ford f150 oil pan

Remove the trans & lift the engine of the mounts as high as you.

well you have to jack the motor up to clear the crossmember and to do that you need to remove the motor mount bolts just make sure you dont stretch any wires or pinch any hoses it shouldnt be more complicated then that ive replaced several and that was the easiest for me

If you get a felpro one piece gasket, and if your slick you won't have to take the pan off. But there is a trick to it, the oil pump tube runs to the front from the sump of the pan. If you take like the other guys where saying and cherry pick the motor up with the mounts undone. It won't be bad, but getting the gasket under the oil pump and back up under the rear main is the trick.

You can follow the manual and really have headaches or you can be bold and try it like I did...fel pro one piece rubber gasket easily fits over outside of pan! Be careful in removing old gasket thr mrtal gromets can fall inside pan and you will have to try to fish em out with a magnet on a flexible rod..tough to get to all the bolts but definately doable..took me 6 hours..and some prayer...
