RE: Oil pan removal 86 Coupe

Just BTDT on the beater 4kq.  IF you remove the front bolts it allows great 
access to the bolts.  There are 2 right in the back that are still a b%#ch.  
Still easier than pulling the whole subframe.

Don't the tranny mounts attach to the subframe?  A jack stand under the
tranny takes care of that though.  (Certainly true for the 5k.)
