When we did the first inspection, the oil pan was removed on the lift. My car has a manual transmission. FYI, this is how it was done, but I am sure there are other ways:
The engine was not supported by a hydraulic jack like other people have done when on stands, probably because only a few of the subframe bolts were taken out.
The air shields were already off.
Oil was drained.
The plastic crankshaft cover was removed, and right wheel turned out.
The passenger side subframe bolts were removed in the front with an air tool, but the subframe was left attached in the back.
Exhaust was separated between the cat and the flex pipe, and left hanging.
O2 sensors were unscrewed to protect the wires.
Sump bolts were taken out with an air tool.
It took a couple whacks on the side of the sump with a soft mallet to get it loose.
One person held the loose subframe section down in front about two inches with a pry bar between the loose end of the subframe and the front subframe member. Then the sump was moved toward the exhaust side, and rotated 90 degrees, and it came out.
The metal plate over the screen was removed, then the screen. The metal flakes and bits were under the metal plate, in and around the screen.
Here is a link to my page on the oil pan cleaning, and bearing inspection.
