need to pull engine to replace oil pan gasket?

Is there a way to replace the oil pan gasket without pulling the engine out?

Yes you can change the oil pan gasket without taking the engine out.
It tells you that in the workshop manual.

Page #79 Clymer's workshop manual.

Thanks, I have the Haynes manual and it doesn't give very many details on the procedure.  I think I'll also buy the Clymer, as I've heard a few things referenced in it that I haven't seen in the Haynes.

Don't BUY a manual. We have the honda service one here. just download it for FREE. It is a bit goofy sometimes as you have to right click the document and tell it to open in pdf but it does work.
And it will be better than those 2 books.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Ah, found it in the FSM, don't know how I missed that before.  Thanks Re-run.
