Unbolt and remove the rearward 18mm k member bolts both passenger and driver sides and remove them. Lossen the front 18mm bolts (both sides of course) of the k member leave them in just lossen them leave the struts bolted up. Stick a pry bar and swing the k member foward and work the pan out.Now we do this all the time here at the shop but we have a lift. Its gonna be a pain doing it on your back. The hard part is putting the pump back in and getting the shaft lined up but there is a trick to that too. There is a way to drop it in from the top.
