    Can someone tell me how to remove the oil pan on a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia DD15? I got it off and it's jacked up but there is minimal room down there to slide it out. Does it come out through the front or the passenger side.
    Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks

    I will usually let the axle hang down with stands on frame. It will come out of the front.

    Put a jack between right front spring and frame and raise the frame to give extra room to slide under front crossmember.

    Put jack like this but closer to center of spring to take weight off spring and raise frame up so axle stays same height giving more room between axle and crossmember.
