Hello all,

Has anyone changed their sump gasket whilst the engine is installed in the car?

Is it possible to wiggle it out with the subframe slightly lowered? Or best to completely remove the subframe and suspension etc.

Hoping I can avoid removing all the suspension, but if needs be then at least I'll have a chance to clean/paint it all.

Thank you in advance.

Subframe has to come of mate, its a sad job

get yourself an engine support beam to start with.

no need to fully remove the front suspension & sub frame.
