Default Oil Pan Removal and front cradle

I am in the process of removing the oil pan and trying to loosen/remove the front cradle. How many bolts are there to loosen it and what is the easiest way to sepearate it from the chassis. Thanks! :smash:

You have to remove the Spring to take it out. You can pry it down a little and put something inbetween to hold it down. I did this to remove the Engine from the top, but not sure if that will give you enough room to remove the Pan. If you spun a Bearing, you will most likely have a damaged Crankshaft. So I would just pull the Engine.
