Hi, I'm new on this site....so bear with me pls...trying to get the sump off my ba xr6 turbo motor! I have engine out. I've removed all the bolts on the side of the pan, and all the smaller bolts around the pan. The front half of the pan has come away with no problem. but it's still caught up pretty tight at the back. for the life of me I cannot find anymore nuts and bolts to undo? are there any behind the flywheel somewhere? PLEASE HELP.....IM PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!

I think from memory fly can stay on, should be able to see them there are cutouts at the back on the flat part if that makes sense!

 

Sorry Luke, you beat me to it :)

Yes you have to use a generous amount around the captured washer that is on the bolt. This is specified in the engine torque settings in the workshop manual.
