All right I got done. :thumbsup: But thanks for the help.

Found an easier way to replace the oil pan.

I'll put some thing together for the How to's

It’s not a bad job once I figured it out

I figured it out so that you don’t have to take the cradle off. Or take the ball joints off.

But thanks for the help.
