I finally did it! Hehe
I have a big preference for doing as little as possible. I feel with every fastener you touch you increase the probability of forgetting something, etc.
With a lift, I'd do it like this. On jackstands I would remove everything because it's so cramped
As this oil pan gasket does not have any rtv, I felt it was pretty easy to leave things hanging as you see here. In the E46, I used rtv and then was under pressure to reinstall quickly due to that
Apparently the job can be done without removing the fan, so you can be sure next time I won't remove that either!
