The oil pan in my '93 Suburban K1500 4x4 is rusty and leaking. My repair manual says that I need to disconnect the exhaust from the manifolds and pull out the front axle. I thought I'd have at it without doing this, and sure enough the pan is blocked pretty good by the front axle. Is there a trick to this, or do I have to swallow hard and pull the front axle out?
