Help! Questions on oil pan

[batever]

Yea thanks batever. what I'm trying to do is replace the oil pan obviously but i had planned on doing that before replacing my full exhaust but but everything was rusted together so i have to get the exhaust off then the pan the new exhaust. so luckily when i tried the first time i only ripped off one bolt so now I'm waiting till i get all my parts then just not sure what approach I'm going with. Keep in mind once i get rid of the old exhaust i don't plan on keeping any of it so you think with force and a sawzall to get EVERY part of the exhaust off and then get the pan then reattach all new exhaust it will be doable by me or what? that's all I'm asking as of now.

Ok, in my experience a sawzall doesn't work so well on the exhaust but a cutoff tool does.

However, reread my earlier post where I described how to pull the whole exhaust down. You won't need to cut *anything*, just unbolt the downpipe header and the exhaust hanger a little behind that on the engine block.

Just spray silicone spray lube in all the rubber exhaust hangers where the exhaust hooks are, then pull the hooks out. The whole exhaust will lower down to the ground.

Be careful that your car is up securely on stands when doing this. I did it putting the whole car up level on 4 stands but you can get by with 2.
