On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?

its a91 jeep cheroken laredoi have the tools and a little bit of experience with cars well aviously not alot if im asking people over the internet but o well On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?

If you go to a good local library you should be able to look up

this procedure in a chilton or Haynes repair book they might have

on the shelf. You can even photocopy the page if it helps you.

There are a few surprises that may come your way.



By the way, while you are at it. How is the rear main seal ?

If it's possible to do with the oil pan down on that particular motor,

now would be the time to consider it.



Good Luck to you.On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?
its really easy, like a 2(if that). all you really do is drop the pan, scrape off the old gasket, and place the pan back on. really simpleOn a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?
its not that hard.



if someone perviously used a paper gasket on your car then it should be pretty straight forward. if they used silicon sealer too, it would be harder to remove that while supine under the car.On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?
i rate it about at 3.5 some replacement gaskets come with plastic screw in studs that will temporarily hold the gasket in place while you position the pan back to the engine good luck. don't over tighten the bolts.On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?
It all depends how accessible the bolts are sometimes they can be a bit difficult to get at- but its not hard 3 to 4 I would say - make sure everything is spot less - I will carefully clean the service with turps(lint free cloth) and apply a bead of silicone to both metal services before offering the sump up with new gasket- do not over tighten the bolts or you will compress the new gasket too much and tighten the bolts evenly like you would replacing a wheel- do it stages first finger tighten them with a socket and extension bar untill you feel a bit of resistance then nip them with tauqe wrench to the requierd taque!
