Getting that oil pan off is no joke. In my case, I had to scrape the thick oil and grime off to see where the bolts were before I could remove them. Depending on where the broken bolt is, the easiest thing to use is a bolt extractor. One of mine was sheared off, but it was in an easy-to-reach location, so a bolt extractor worked great. Took a couple of minutes max.

Question, since I'm curious....how does one get the pistons out? Are you unbolting the rods from the bottom and pulling the pistons out the top?

I ask because on my dad's '38 Super 8, the rods are too wide to come up through the cylinders, so the cylinder block needs to come off to get to the pistons.
