Assuming that a bearing replacement will solve your proble-
To drop the oil pan (V6 engines)
1. disconnect battery cable
2. remove cables from starter then remove the 2 bolts that hold starter in place and remove the starter. Save the spacer.
3. Disconnect front engine mount to cradle bolts, shock mount bolt and dogbone bolt.
4. Using a small piece of plywood at the bottom, and placing a floor jack under the oil pan, raise the engine up about 5-6".
5. Place a 12" piece of 2 x 4 between the harmonic balancer and the cradle.
6. Lower the engine down SLOWLY and let it rest on the 2 x 4 under the balancer. Don't worry it won't hurt anything. I've done this many times
7. Remove the front engine mount bracket bolts and remove the bracket from the block.
8. remove all of the oil pan holding bolts/nuts.
9. drop the oil pan down.
Assembly is the reverse of the above but be sure to apply a dab of RTV gasket sealer where the oilpan gaskets meet or you will have a leak. It's about a 2-3 hour job.

yup - that was pretty much it! I also undid the ehxuast downpipe, and the springs on that side, to lower the exhaust pipe for a little more room. not entirely necessary, but made for more room when putting the pan back with wet silicone. Not a job to be scared to do. It really is that easy. Much easier than valve covers. Anyways, sofar, the bearing is happy. but time will tell. gona drain the dino oil, and get back to Mobil 1 synth sometime this week (bearing break-in....)
