I can’t get the cover off! I see the bolts coming through the pan. If I Pry a bit I can get the cover over the tabs on the side but I’m afraid of too must pressure at that angle will break cover or not allow the cover to move up. Those bolts through the pan are snug- like no room between pan and bolt- like it’s threaded through the pan?? There’s got to be a tip or trick to doing this… Other than dropping the pan? Which looks like according to my reading you have to drop the front suspension?

 

No, the oil pan isn't threaded. Maybe you could double nut the stud and unscrew them to get them out of the way. Those studs are removable/replaceable ( 90116-06119)
