Well that was a CHALLENGE. But we were able to dance the old swamp and install this without removing the engine, differential, resetting the axles or whatever the YouTube rebuild videos say is required for installation. Also bought an oil pan - it needs to come out so the pan is maneuverable enough to get out of. You then have to be very flexible and have flexible fingers to slide the pallet back into place. Load it into the oil pan by threading it through the gasket and install while keeping the pan and gasket in place. It's a task, but it can be done.
