I tackled my rear main seal and oil pan gasket today. Good time to do it with the front end off.
I struggled with the upper gasket. I tore two of them. My index finger is still sore from struggling with the first two. :nono:
On the third one, I soaked it in oil and then I loosened the bearing caps 6, 5 and 4. That was the trick. Went it with no struggle. Torqued everything up to factory spec and done. But, this after lots of struggling, wasting $40 for two kits and wasted time going out to the parts store.
I hope this saves someone time. I know all the posts I've read have been immensely helpful to me.
