    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil Pan Removal and replacement

Long story really short; I need to replace my oil pan.

Is this something I'm going to have to pull the engine out of the frame to do? I think it might be easier if the engine was pulled, but I really don't want to mess with all of that.

I'm thinking I can just drop my oil pan, but when I do, what is going to drop out of the engine?

The oil pan and all the parts are readily available because the GS500 in current production uses a lot of the same engine parts as my '83 GS450T, pretty interesting, eh?
 
The oil pan will come right off after you remove the exhaust. Nothing will come off with the pan other than the gasket and maybe an O-ring.

I've tried to find CRC freeze stuff, but havn't had any luck. I'll go to wally world sometime this week.

I sprayed PB Blaster on the bolts last night.

Should I use my impact driver to loosen up the bolts? Hit them tight, hit them loose twice, hit them tight, hit them loose twice, hit them tight, that way it's working back and forth, but more forth than back.
