There's not really much to it. On my g13bb Jimny I just unbolt one side of the steering drag link and move a few other bits and pieces out the way then unbolt the sump. When reinstalling I use a g16 cork gasket and not sealant. I hate sealant and use gaskets wherever possible. I also coat my gaskets in grease before installing them as it prevents them baking on, makes removal easier if I need to and allows thicker and weaker gaskets like cork ones to move rather than tear as the bolts are tightened.

Unfortunately the Vits are a little trickier to do, they have a diff directly below the sump. It's not too bad to get the front diff out but it's hard to get a good seal (if using sealant) working upside down. It may just be easier to pull the engine out, especially if the head gasket is leaking. |

Hi mate, should be a regular right hand thread, so to loosen it you would turn it anti-clockwise. The best way to loosen it is to get a long breaker bar or similar and put something like a tube on the end to extend it to get more leverage. To stop the crank from turning if its a manual, I put it in 5th with the handbrake on. Ray |

I've tried exactly as you said. Would rattle gun or heat do it or damage it |

No worries, also drown the bolt in wd40, it makes a huge difference |
