    i am trying to remove the oil pan so far it hasn't been too bad until now , there is a bracket that is bolted to the oil pan, the transmission, and the block . I only see three bolts holding it after removing the one from the oil pan and the transmission I've loosened the one at the block and the bracket won't move .What am I missing????

    There should be two bolts on the transmission and at least two to the engine.

    If it's the same one I'm thinking, it's a brail job. Meaning through touch not sight. I think that last bolt may have never went back in either, but my customer is aware.

    Yes there were 5 bolts in that bracket now I can move it but it won’t come out. Think I can finish getting the pan down now hope I can move the bracket enough
