I am working a friends 2014 crv she hit a pot hold and cracked the oil pan I got the old oil pan out however I can’t get enough clearance to get the new pan in I have loosened all the bolts on the cradle on the passenger side What am I missing what else could I do to get the pan in with out dropping the whole cradle or the motor? Please help

 

Do post a photo. I am sure what is in front of you is blocking that has to come off, because what's inside the pan. crvoc did not give you the answer looking for or people simply do not have your issue. its again best to show a photo. I am sure by now its off and back on? (SMILES) or a wrong pan and year.

 

Check the part number against your VIN.
American made or Japan made?
