First , I'd like to say "hello" to everyone, I'm a new guy. I just saved up my aluminum can money and got a '68 standard Cougar. It's very exciting, as this will be my '10-year' project car.
Anywho, one of the first things that I' m doing is replacing the oil pan. Whoever owned it previously fixed a hole in the pan by coating the entire bottom of it , including the drain plug, with JB Weld. My question is, how do I get the freaking crossmember off so that I can drop the pan? I've been wailing at it for two days, and it's stuck pretty tight. Right now the car's front end is up on ramps. Should it be on jack stands to relieve some of the tension?
Thanks,
Brian
