2000 Toyota Corolla

Hi there,

Jack up and drain sump. Remove exhaust , from memory your lower engine brace is not an issue , but if it is over the sump it will have to be removed as well. Undo all sump bolts, now these sumps are chemically sealed(no gasket) so they are a bugger to shift. (sorry Aussie term for hard) there is a special tool for breaking the seal, just be careful if you use a screwdriver you don't damage anything. when sump off clean all mating surfaces and use only the Toyota engine sealant. follow instructions on tube and you will have no problems .
