I'm assuming an ERA is pretty much the same as mine. I'll have to wait until I need to do that job to find out.
Dad,
Not giving you any advice, just merely offering the information of the helpful guys that answered my thread. Hope it helps you too.
No, the ERA rectangular tube chassis has no crossmember under the pan-which was the only saving grace about my toil. The CSX has the round tube ladder style chassis and apparently the crossmember may interfere with pan removal. Hope a CSX guy chimes in about clearance.
Better yet, I hope your pan seal is not part of the problem.
