Scott S. Posted May 31 Posted May 31 I'm assuming you've got the inspection pan off at the fly wheel, and if you remove the starter, you should be able to wiggle the pan out. Quote

Scott S. Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Like I mentioned, removing the starter and inspection plate should give you more room to work as well. Quote
