Hi all,

Am starting the process of getting my recently aquired 190D up to snuff.

As I am changing all of the fluids, hoses, etc., I was thinking I might also replace the oil pan gasket. Can anyone tell me if the oil pan on the 2.5 can be easily removed or is it one of those that essentially entails pulling the engine?

I am also planning to do the trans cooler hoses. I found the hoses but do not see any gaskets listed with them. Are gaskets built into / provided with the hoses or is there another part I need.

I imagine this is all in the shop manual but I just ordered one and do not have it yet.

Thanks.
