OK, with a professional mechanic, who's never seen a Kirkham, we got the pan off and the rear main seal replaced without moving a %*&^#$@ thing! The hardest part was getting the
oil pickup back in with the pan held on at the rear by only 2 longer bolts than you would normally use. Once the
oil pickup is in place, we replaced the long bolts with the stock pan bolts and bolted her back up. Haven't run the car to see if we were successful, but it sure looks good for the moment. Didn't move the tranny or engine or nuttin'! Way out of my skill range, but it is done. I had all of the pan bolts out, except for three buggers, which he got out and successfully replaced (and no he doesn't have the hands of a five year old!) s
