how to remove oil pan from 1989 bronco 2
If its the bronco XLT you'll have to take the tail gate paneling off the inside. The motor, gears, etc. for the rear window are located in there. I had the same problem with mine sometime back.
yes it unbolts and comes right off. you will have to take off the wind shield wiper motor cover.
take the kick panel off on the passenger side and you will find it there
The Bronco's design was intended to have the top come off so every year bronco's top can come off but they only make soft tops up to 77 for the bronco so before you try to take yours off think about getting a custom made one or the seal of the roof wont be the same.
yes you can it takes 3 people to lift it up
you can use a saw zaw or circular saw to remove it that's what i used on my 88 ANSWER go to http://www.broncoiicorral.com/ look in thewebsite and they will have a step by step on how to take the back off.
Hey Mike==It is on the back of the engine and you first remove the neg battery cable then the cables off of the starter then take the bolts out and workit out among the exharst . GoodluckJoe
you will have to take timing belt cover off and timing belt then the water pump is on the right side you will have to take the back cover loose to but to save you from taking all pullys off just take screws out of cover then you can pull it back enough to take the bolts out take about 6 to 8 bolts off cant remember how many then slide it out and put it back on the way you took it off but make sure you put a new seal in the water pump or it will leak
