The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Lowering the idler arm to drop the oil pan

I think it would be easier to pop one of the tierods odd the steering arm. I just did that on my 1959 today to adjust the allignment.

In the past when I removed the oilpan in my blue chip Jimmy's, I put jackstands under the frame to allow the suspension to hang lower. Of course I had to do the pan on my back.
