s185 bobcat 2004 (525 machine id) oil sump removal HELP!! HELP!!!

[ruka]

Hi everyone!!! Quick question.... Is it possible to remove the oil sump without pulling out the engine, as i have a crack at the bottom and wish to replace it. Also does anyone know whether once i remove the bolts (if it is possible without engine removal) will anything be in my way internally inside the sump to stop me from just sliding it out. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance.

I don't believe so, the engine will have to come out. You have like 20-30 little bolts holding the sump on, both on the front and back. It needs to be removed to gain access.
You have the oil pickup in the way, it won't simply slide out.
