Subject: READ!: Ambo Oil Pan Removal

There are 18 (eight-teen) bolts !!!
Don't slap before you've found them all - please!!!

That is if it is a model with internal filter in the pan.
On early non filter models there are only 14.

Be safe

I usually put the plug back in and then let the torque pull the pan off

I tighten it.
Or you could put the plug in and use it as a leverage point to just pry
it
off. Don't pry against the cases, but a steel part like the frame.

I was getting impatient waiting for my shop manual to arrive, so I
decided to pull the oil pan on my '70 Ambo tonight. It looked pretty
straight-forward, so I pulled out 14 bolts and gave it a few taps with a
light hammer, but it's not budging. I thought about prying it but
stopped short to avoid the possibility of damage. Are there any other
bolts that need to be removed besides the 14 on the bottom or anything
else that needs to be done to get the pan off? I know the pan has never
been off before, so it may just be that it needs a little persuading.
Better safe than sorry though.

Thanks,
Donny
