Ok

I want to change the rod bearings on my 2.5

and im trying to take off the Oil pan

So first i move that starter out of the way...thats fine

But i dont understand how to get that right mount off from the cradel

I mean

1st off i don't know how to secure the engine now...so it wont fall and crush me

2nd all the spaces that i need to get into to take off that right mount are way to tight and i just cant do it

Any suggestions or tricks?

I never said it was easy. Did you remove the right rear tire? It gives you some working spacce-a little. It's all a tight fit, but you can do it. You have to support the engine from above, with a lift or with a jack from below. Once you get the bolts off of the mount, both to the eng & cradle, you will have to lift the eng up enough to roll the mount out of your way. There is a lip on the engine side of the mount that the pan hangs on & also keeps you from getting to the right side pan bolts. Some people cut that lip off with a grinder or something(never tried it myself) to give them clearance. Once you get the mount & support out of the way, you should be able to get the pan off. You can drop the eng back down on a 2 X 4 wedged on top of the cradle, but it may interfere with turning the crank as you change the rod bearings.
