Default RE: oil line help

You may need to jack the motor slightly to open up enough room to get the flange over the front differential. I know mine were a pain to get in and it took me quite a bit of time to do. The other piece of advice I can give is to have the bolt in there when you slide the flange back to the filter adapter on the back/side of the engine. I used 2 12" extensions and a shallow 10mm socket and kept the socket on the bolt while I slide everything into place. Also, make sure that the new gasket piece stays on while you slide it in. After that, it is pretty much all by feel... I was able to position my magnetic mechanics mirror so that I could see up to where everything went which helped out greatly.
