Large piece of metal came off road and put hole in oil pan, does the motor have to come out to replace pan?

Roger, according to PT Do It Yourself.net you do not have to take out the engine to remove the oil pan. 1. Drain The Oil...of course. 2. Remove The Oil Filter. 3. Remove The 'Accy Drive Belt Splash Shield'. 4. Remove The 'Structural Collar'. 5. Remove The 'Lower Torque Strut'. 6. Remove The 'Oil Filter Adapter'. 7. Remove Oil Pan. ptdoityourself.net/pitpass/guideoem_oilpan.html |

Derek is loving the PT, has added a TV that pops out of the dash, 4 new subs and 2 amps, not sure what else he wants to do but is talking of lowering it. As for the bike I have had lots of fun on it but the best thing is 39mpg in town 62mpg on the highway,  |
