Replacing oil pan on a 1998 Honda Accord coupe
Hello, Group:
I'm quite the novice when it comes to working on cars, but can do minor things like change the brake pads or oil. My car is leaking oil, and after having the oil pan gasket replaced, we suspect it's the oil pan. I'd like to save the money and buy the oil pan and replace it myself. Is replacing the oil pan something that should be left the the professionals? Regards, --tj |

You'll need to remove a shield that is part of the transmission and remove the A pipe from the exhaust manifold. I'm not sure if I would do another one again. |

Also check your PCV valve, it may be plugged up. Or better yet, just
replace it and the grommet. You may need to order exhaust pipe gaskets and new self-locking nuts for the pipes. If you can do brakes and follow instructions in Haynes or factory manual you should have no problem. Might want to pick up some torque wrenches (1/4" in-lb and 3/8 ft-lb and/or 1/2 ft-lb): http://search.harborfreight.com/cpis...ench&Submit=Go On Jul 29, 11:04*am, " > wrote: > Hello, Group: > > I'm quite the novice when it comes to working on cars, but can do > minor things like change the brake pads or oil. *My car is leaking > oil, and after having the oil pan gasket replaced, we suspect it's the > oil pan. *I'd like to save the money and buy the oil pan and replace > it myself. > > Is replacing the oil pan something that should be left the the > professionals? > > Regards, > > --tj |
