Oh what fun!!!!!!!!!!! Not only do I have to replace a bolt on my exhaust flange, I get to rent a cherry-picker to lift my block......just so I can get my oilpan off to replace the gasket!!! And only a week before Moab, while still pulling 10 HR days!

Oh well.............................................. ................................. :(

You got your work cut out for ya that's for sure. I had to do that to my dad's 95 F150 in my driveway. It wasn't much fun when I'm used to doing things like that at work with a lift. I get spoiled I guess.

Warloard,
you have ranger.

how hard is it to fix a leaky rear main seal on a 92 ranger 4.0l 4x4?

You gotta yank the transmission out, remove the flywheel & replace that seal. It's not too hard, just time consuming. Of course doing it on your back in a driveway could cause you to hate doing it.
