Obstructed pan bolts on 98 Mazda Protege
|
|
|
I've got my car up on jack stands to do a tranny fluid and filter change but it doesn't look to be as easy as I thought it would be. About 8 of the bolts are blocked by a crossmember...at least that's what I think it's called. I don't mind removing it but don't understand what purpose it serves and if the engine needs to be supported from above first before taking it off? I could maybe get to the pan bolts with a universal joint but don't see any way to torque them down properly with the crossmember still in place. Has anyone on here done a transmission fluid and filter change on this make/model? If you have, how did you do it?

Moderator, you can go ahead and close this thread as solved. I did end up removing the crossmember because I found out that it does indeed support the engine. So I put my hydraulic jack and a section of 2x4 under and against the bottom of the engine oil pan to support the engine and removed the crossmember. After that, the tranny pan bolts where a piece of cake to get to.
