A buddy convinced me we could change the filter in my drive in no time. We attempted it today and cannot get the pan off b/c of the brace in the frame. We've unbolted that and slid it as much as we could without removing the exhaust but still cannot get the pan out. Am I going to have to take the exhaust off in order to get the job done? Was this a job better left to a professional? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
