Oil Pan baffel plate
Guess I should have asked this BEFORE I removed the oil pan baffel plate to get at the sludge in the bottom of the pan. Took a little prying on the oil pump side but it finally poped out of the grooves in the side of the pan.
Got to checking out Les Andrews repair manual and he makes no mention as being able to remove it. Looks like it will just pop back in place. Am I wrong in assuming this is a removable piece? or did I screw up some tollerances? I wanted to make sure I got all of the pieces on the oil pump spring that was broken up. Thanks |

Depending on how much it got bent, just hammer it straight, and it will snap back in and be just as tough to remove again.

I like to drop the pqn upside down onto the grass to make the dip tray pop out. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 drops. Never any damage.

I use a 2 foot long Screw driver. The pan pops rightout. Leverage works.

I just take a big pinch bar or a big long screw driver and stick down the oil pump hole and give it wack and it will pop right out. Walt

Re: Oil Pan baffel plate
I, like Tom, drop them on the grass or bare ground and the dip tray "pops" out. It sometimes takes several tries. I have been known to use the concrete but the chance of bending the lip of the pan increases. Oh, be sure to drain out the oil first and use a place that the EPA wont see, cause the sludge can make a mess.

Re: Oil Pan baffel plate
Use a baseball bat. Stick it in the oil pump hole and brace the pan with something (your legs or wall) and push the bat so it puts pressure on the tray. It works great and won't damage the pan or tray. Dave Gerold told me about this and I have done it a couple times and it works great.
His website is: http://www.durableperformance.net/services.html It shows how to do it. Rusty Nelson |

Re: Oil Pan baffel plate
For a stubborn one, you can pop 'em out with a board and a big C-clamp.
Slip the bottom end of the C-clamp through the opening into the bottom of the pan and catch it under the dipper tray. Put a board across the top of the pan and hook the other end of the clamp on the board. As you crank on the clamp it will pull down on the board and up on the tray until it pops free. I like this method because you can do it slowly and without the violence of prying or pounding. I've never bent a tray using this method.
