Re: Can i remove an oil pan on my 2002 chevy express van...
Unfortunately no, you will need to remove the engine. There are short cuts, but not worth it for DIY. Body needs to come off frame, so unless you have a lift and an engine hoist, I would take it to a pro.

I tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my ford explorer. it wont move forward or
reverse, engine is good both solenoids for forward and reverse work.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and works perfect! got it from www.reliable-store.com
wipe everything clean and drive for a day to verify where the fluid is coming from. if it is coming from the pan then drain and remove the pan and replace the gasket. if not the replace the offending part or gasket.
HI IF YOU LOOK UNDER THE CAR YOU WILL SEE A OIL PAN WHERE THE OIL STARTS FOR THIS ITEM THAT AS BROKEN OFF WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM OF PAN AND WILL NOT MOVE FROM THE SPOT IT FELL
typically it will be right under the drivers door along the frame rail. Some of these vans including the Savanna vans have a non servicable fuel filter
Under your van on the passenger side just above the oil pan on the side of the engine block, bolts into the transmission bell housing, hope this was very helpful.
Probably a 3 out of 5 on my diy difficulty scale, here goes: 1 remove negative battery cable 2 raise and support the van on jack stands 3 remove the motor mount bolts from both sides( do not worry the engine will not fall on you) 4 remove the oil pan retaining bolts 5 unplug oil level sensor if equipped 6 bump oil pan with a RUBBER mallet to break the gasket seal 7 remove oil pan, you might have to raise the engine with a jack placed under the front pulley, use a block of wood to avoid marring the pulley, and raise the engine just enough to allow the oil pan to slip out. 8 remove the oil pump retaining bolt and allow the pump to come straight down. 9 you will have to re use the intermediate shaft, the collar that holds it on will most likely break when you try to remove it, you can get a new one, it will probably come with the new oil pump. You can reuse the oil pump pickup tube, but it is cheap insurance to replace it. reassemble in reverse order, pay attention to the oil pan gasket, be careful and get the corners in correctly, extra time spent here will prevent a leak later.
