Yes you need to support it from above, Used a piece of pipe between the strut towers and a load binder ratchet on the weekend to drop a subframe here.tyang82;1812637 said:
No probs, by all means use the lift, we were working on the hoist so the pipe made it easier!tyang82;1812645 said:
You can actually buy a tool for this job it's adjustable to fit different carstyang82;1812655 said:
Length of heavy wall cage tubing did the job!
All depends on how far down you want/need to get the Subframe, personally I'd pull the engine and Trans if you have an engine lift there.
Up to you it's a lot of work either way just harder to get a 100% seal if you do it under the car and it'd suck having to redo it if it still leaks..
Problem is getting it all clean enough, it takes time to squeeze a nice bead onto the pan then start screwing it up, in that time oil can seep down onto the block rail and prevent the RTV bonding and this ends up as a leak..
Do you have access to a compressor and spray gun?
If yes use some paint thinner to wash inside the block then clean up with shop rags, this might give you the time you need.
Gravity is a bitch

I am in the process of resealing a leaky oil pan too. Napa doesn't carry three bond products, is there a store that does? Or is three bond an online only thing?

It's sold at a lot of Motorcycle dealers as "SuziBond, YamaBond, HondaBond" you get the idea
Think a few Snowmobile shops stock it as well.
If you can't find the stuff IJ recommended, I have had good success with "Right Stuff" sealant. It comes in a pressurized can and is pretty expensive (I think $15 for a can), but it works really well and you can find it at pretty much any parts store.
