Just A little tut in removing Ve Commodore sump
Remove Drive Belt
Remove Balancer rattle off balancer bolt use a three claw balancer puller ideally the puller to use is one that goes into the balancer spokes if using an outside puller be careful not to separate the pulley from the rubber mount once off
undo three lowest front cover bolts 13mm
under vehicle undo all sump bolts there are two in a bit of a spot above the rack a second person comes in handy here to remove them
right at the back of the sump there are two 10mm bolts that need to come out and finally three lower bolts from the bell housing
there is no need to lower the K frame or lift the motor as the sump will come out
on the sump there are three lever points one at the RHF and two at the rear on each side of the sump a normal size screw driver fits in perfect now it's just a case of lever the sump to crack the seal you wont need to do this to the front just lever the two rear and draw the sump out i should note the rear lever points are near the last bolts on the side of sump at the top you will see the casting shape to know what i'm talking about
thats pretty much it very simple operation as the oil pick up is actually bolted to the sump and not the motor
