I replace my oil pan gasket in my 91 without pulling the motor. Was able to get the old gasket out pulled down around the pan without breaking it. Flip the new one in back up under the pan over the edge and into the groove. But it does help to have the tranny out because when you drop the pan it does move back a little. Also replaced the rear main seal.

I have done that before, its not as hard as people think, however I did split the new gasket at the rear hump and use silicoln to make up the gap. Makes it way easier to reinstall and still no leaks
Thanks for sharing!
