Noticed a minor oil leak recently & purchased an oil pan gasket. Climbed under vehicle and could not see any simple way to drop pan as I have done with other vehicles. Checked this forum, and found that engine must be hoisted to remove pan. Are you KIDDING me???? Anybody out there know of alternate method?

I've "heard" of it being done by dropping the pan some.. then fishing the gasket in/around the pan to get it past the oil pickup.

Thanks dudes- another brilliant example of Ford engineering- NOTTTT!!! Guess I'll just have to add a qt. every few weeks.
 






Yep, pretty worthless. Someone should make a thread on all the things that Ford decided nobody should ever be able to replace unless they come to a dealership. Maybe a whole book.
