I need help replacing an oil pan gasket on a 1984 toyota tercel wagon?

My son and I have repaired a tercel that grandma blew up. We have replaced the valves had the heads done put a rebuild kit on the carb. and after all we have done we have an oil leak.


We found the source it is the oil pan. It is in an awkward position we are having problems removing the bolts toward the back. Any suggestions?I need help replacing an oil pan gasket on a 1984 toyota tercel wagon?
lt is tough to access the bolts once the engine is in because of the cross member and trans brackets. You may have to remove the brackets/stiffeners. It helps to remove the engine mount bolts and jack up the engine, but be real careful not to go too high and watch the clearances-also support the oilpan with a wide block of wood so as not to crush it. once loose, it has to come down far enough to get by the oil pickup.--Good luck
