RANDOM THOUGHTS
===============
Read several of the write-ups and pictorials. Patiently accumulate your supplies and tools. Dry run the process a day or so before you start and think about it often. Pay attention to stuff you don't want to accidentally damage, like oxygen sensors. The truck and RV Rhino ramps worked for me - mayube you can go higher with jack stands. Spray lots of Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster on the downpipe nuts and studs beforehand. Count all of the bolts on the pan, several times, and visualize how you will get to the "hidden" bolts; I'm talking about an automatic transmission model and not the "really hidden" bolt(s) on a manual transmission model. I spent almost as much time cleaning and scraping as I did on removal and re-install. Cleaning the screen is very imporatant so give it the time it deserves. Have kerosene and brake parts cleaner on hand. It is nice to have a helper when replacing the pan so your Loctite won't smear but I suppose you could also use a floor or transmission jack as well.
