Up.

 

What do you mean bottom half? There is only one part to the oil pan, the pan itself. Im honestly not sure about the correct procedure on a 2.8.... But I know there are no halves to the oil pan.

 

I have the lower pan and gasket in stock - under $125.00! genuineaudiparts.com

 

Thats a good price... So the question is really how do i go about removing the lower sway bar in lew of removing the oil pan. The 4 bolts that mount it to the fram don't have hex heads and are nearly impossible to access. Whats up with these things?
