Oil pan change on 2009 1.0 VVT 1KR-FE
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience of changing one of these? I have a small crack in mine and have bought a replacement, I tried to replace today and got stuck. I can't get a ratchet to attach to either of these 2 bolts, not sure if this is because the fly wheel partially obstructs or I need a different ratchet set. Does anyone know if these can be accessed with a special tool? Surely you would not have to remove the flywheel . Hopefully just me being dim. Thanks for any help. |

there should be a plastic cover covering the little opening to the flywheel gears and stuff exposing, should get a wobbly socket to fit in there

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried for ages with my 1/4" ratchet set, I could see them but couldn't get an angle to get the socket over the bolt/nuts, even with the universal joint attachment. In the end I just cleaned up the crack and stuck a load of epoxy over it. Once this fails I will try again, even if I manage to get them off with a thinner set I can see it being impossible to get them back on. It is good to know that it can be done though. Thanks. |
