Hi, has anyone removed the oil sump on a D16A8? I am trying to remove the oil sump (oil pan) on a 1992 Civic Si with a D16A8 engine to replace the sump gasket. I have removed the section of the exhuast that allows access to the pan. But the left axle is still in the way of the oil pan bolts. Does the the axle have to come out? Thanks.
