oil pan gasket on 95 SSE
Has anyone ever changed the pan gasket on a 92-95 Bonneville.
I need to do this on my 95 SSE because she'* leeking really bad from the oil pan.
Any suggestions or help very much appreciated

Yes, it'* pretty easy. A few bolts. You have to take off the plastic flywheel cover to get to a bolt or two. The rest should be easy.

Yup. And torque specs are in techinfo, specifications. Criss-cross pattern. I suggest half torque on the first pass, then full torque.
Use an OEM rubber gasket only, and take care with the oil level sender wires.

When I did that on my old SSEi, I had to remove the too oil lines going to the filter housing, required a line wrench of a size i forget...other than that, easy as pie, the dealership gasket was actually 50% cheaper than your standard jobber price.
