Mercury Sable/ Ford Taurus Coolant Leak/ Oil Leak Repair Part 3

WATCH IN 720P HD PLEASE RATE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!!! Part 3 The Y pipe, starter, are removed and I'm working on removing the oil pan. At this point the job has not been all that bad beside having to deal with a ton of oil, dirt, grime, covered motor. Thank god for engine cleaner and PB blaster which has saved me a lot of time. I will have Part 4 up shortly. Thanks for your views and support!

@Spanishvatos4life i used an electic impact to break mine free, not really sure what you could use to keep it from turning.

How did you remove the Y pipe? That's the one that goes from the front of the car, under the oil pan and to the exhaust pipe, right?

[smiatacz]

@ToTo05 Around 6 bolts, I unbolted the front and rear of the y pipe from the manifold, unplugged the two wire harness and unbolted the y pipe at the catalytic converter. The front manifold bolts i got to from under the car and the rear manifold bolts were hard to get to but i got them from the top of the car.

How did you remove the oil pan? That's all I need done is to replace the gasket and I can't seem to find the help i need. :(

@ToTo05 Well pretty much everything I did at this point in the video series and the pan is clear and free to drop out from under the car, you just would not need to take apart anything on the top half of the motor. Any more question just feel free to ask. Thanks for watching.

@smiatacz Yep, a couple of bursts with the impact trigger and it was off in a jiffy, I didn't pull the oil pan yet, and got the timing case off with the water pump still attached ( as I just installed a new one and still had the leak) I turned the timing cover upside down and it came out the wheel well. My "Y" pipe is still on the engine and I'm not planning to do the oil pan gasket even thought I picked one up at Advance Auto Parts. Thanks for your video, it helps a lot!

@ushouldntjudgeme The damper bolt is regular threads and I used a electric impact gun to remove it. Thanks for watching.

Hello, does the big bolt for the vibration damper come off with regular or reverse threads? Did you use an impact gun or other method to remove that bolt? Same exact coolant leak....'01 3.0L
