well depends on which spectra and engine size. But generally , you will take all the screws out that hold on the oil pan. then gently pry the oil pan loose. The next thing is you will have to slide the oil pan to the driver or passenger side to clear the oil pump and it will come off. The big question is, Is there a cross member in the way to stop you from removing the oil pan when you get it loose. You may have to support the engine and then remove the cross member . On some spectra's you even have to lift the engine up about 3 inches to clear another support .Any way make sure you disconnect the battery before you start this project.

To replace the oil pan on a 2003 Kia Spectra, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the engine oil and remove any components obstructing access to the oil pan, such as the exhaust or crossmember. Unscrew the bolts securing the oil pan and gently pry it off, cleaning the mating surface on the engine block. Install the new oil pan with a new gasket, torque the bolts to the specified settings, and refill the engine with oil before reconnecting the battery.
