nd pan pivoted/takin out to clean oil screen
i got a clogged oil screen. can i stick a oil hose up the drain plug hole and just blast it in every which way hoping itll hit the oil screen...nahh prolly not. Is it possible to pivot the oil pan while jacking up the motor to access the oil pickup tube so i can clean out the screen?
...theres GOT to be some way other than pulling the f***cking motor to clean this screen. Stock K members suck

disconnect the motor mounts and lift the front of the motor, you should be able to drop the pan onto the K member and reach in and remove the 2 bolts holding the pickup tube in place, alog with the 14mm nut holding it to one of your mains. pull it out and clean the fker off.... actually, you will more then likely be able to get the whole pan out too... so rinse it out with brake cleaner and let it dry... get that 320k mile sludge out
