socket set, wrench set, jack, jack stands, gasket scraper, torque wrenchI completely forgot to record the rest of the video! I first dropped the crossmember, the sway bar, and the front differential. I then removed all the nuts holding the harness and the bolts to the oil pan. I had to have a coworker help hold the transmission lines out of the way so that I could use both hands to have enough pressure pulling down to get the pan out, as with me putting it back in. While I had the pan down, I cleaned it top to bottom. I cleaned the sealing surface on the engine to ensure no old sealant would interfere with the new sealant and gasket.
Tip: You can use sealant on the pan to keep the gasket in place, just make sure to use a very thin amount to prevent leaking.
