[Mgs] MGB oil pan removal

[Robert's New iPad]

	Using a 2x4 pad or equivalent, gently jack under front of the engine sump.
	You need only 1/8” or so of lift in order to slip a wrench into the cramped space, then a bit more for the fasteners to come out. Anticipate a layer of oily dirt in this space.
	Were I doing this again, I would first wash this area with Dawn dish liquid. It is sold in a trigger bottle. I have recently learned of this, though it’s not a new product, and found it to be helpful for pre-wrenching cleanup.
