Can you remove the oil pan from a 2000 ford mustang without removing the engine?

I've recently busted the oil pan on my ford mustang driving over a curb. The Haynes repair manual dictates to remove the engine and transmission when replacing it. Is that necessary or is there any easier way to fix it.Can you remove the oil pan from a 2000 ford mustang without removing the engine?
If you will notice in the Haynes and Chilton Manuals, the cars are brand new without any corrosion or buggered fasteners. The shops are large, spotless and fully equipped. The guy fixing the car is obviously not worried about getting that particular car back on the road so he can drive it to work or the wife to pick the kids up from school.



Haynes and Chilton Manuals are mechanical pornography as they only illustrate the most superficial aspects of the mechanical relationship you have with your vehicle.



But they can be a good start and provide some specifications.



When I replaced the head gaskets on my Ford Windstar I still had to go online and subscribe to Fords online service manual. This was the real deal. Even though I had both the Chilton and Haynes Manuals, they were almost useless.



I recently replaced the steering rack and all my sources said that I had to unbolt and jack up the sub frame along with breaking apart the exhaust system. After a little examination, I found that I could pull it out through the wheel well easy peasy.



Hopefully you will find an easier way to replace your oil pan as I did with my steering rack..
no, you dont have to remove the engine!. all you might have to do is jack up the engine so it will clear.Can you remove the oil pan from a 2000 ford mustang without removing the engine?
Nope only way is to pull the engine and replace it.
I am not sure on that one, but i know that people told a guy that he had to pull the engine to drop the pan on his 94 V 8, but we got it done without pulling it. Yes you will have to jack the front of the engine up, and drop some bars, but we got it out. It was very tight, but it came out. Try to find a book that shows it. The guy i know found one on it, and we did it different, but it was at least one way to do it.
