Good advice from Ross.

In addition, you will need to drop the steering linkage to get enough room to get the pan off. No worries on this, just unfasten the idler arm where it attaches to to the frame on the RH side. After this, just pull the linkage down out of the way.

Also, you may need to turn the engine a few degrees so the front crankshaft throws are turned up for more clearance. Easy to do with a large screwdriver working on the flywheel teeth.

Clean that oil pump pick-up screen too.

I find that adhering the new gasket to the pan with no adhesive on the engine side works well. Then, next time the pan and gasket will come down with little or none of the gasket sticking to the engine. Maybe you will luck out and the person who did this job before you did it this way.
