Hard things with the RMS are clearing the pan from the axle, scraping the old pan gasket off, and getting the old seal out. It helps to have a lift kit to clear the pan from the axle, stock height doesn't leave too much room. Just be VERY careful scraping the old pan gasket and putting in the new seal. You don't want to hit the engine internals.

Easy way to help get the pan out is to jack up the front of the body and let the suspension droop. It'll give you more room to slide the pan out. I have a 3" lift and I have to do this to get the back of the pan down far enough to be able to slide it out.

Alright, starting with the OFA, Kit from dealer is 4$. Anyone know the size of the Torque bit needed? Also heard its a pain because of no room.
