Ok guys, been looking around in here and didn't find this one. How difficult is changing the Oil Pan Gasket? Seems to be pretty Strait forward, but on the passenger side of the pan, there is some obstruction getting to the bolts. Any experience with working around this, or do I need to remove some stuff. By the way, it's a 04 Civic LX coup with 1.7. If I can get the bolts out, will I be able to drop the pan far enough to get it out of there? Just trying to figure this out before I am in the Drive Way on jack Stands with a big mess only to figure out I bit off more than I can chew. This is my first time messing with a Civic, and have bingo experience with the rice rides. My background is older Jeeps and Bikes. Thanks in advance for any advise.

Seems like the biggest hassle is getting the exhaust dropped down so the pan can come out. Other than that, I think it's pretty straightforward.
