Here's the skinny on the procedure itself. No need to pull the crossmember!
You will need:
- Toyota FIPG for camshaft housing and oil pan ($23 from dealer)
- oil pump pickup tube gasket ($4. This gasket is IMPORTANT)
- misc tools, 10mm socket, extensions, etc
- putty knife, wire brush (or wire wheel on grinder)
- small amount of gasoline (from your lawnmower is fine)

- Jack up car fairly high. You want lots of room.
- Drain oil, put on new drainplug gasket
- Take off the oil cooler fitting (17? 19mm?)
- Remove the engine stiffening braces on both sides.
- Remove all the itty bitty 10mm bolts and nuts
- Crack the oilpan free of the block. It's glued on pretty good with FIPG so this
is fun. A putty knife and small mallet will help. Try to only pull out the pan, without
pulling down the windage tray. If you pull down the windage tray too, you have to
seperate the two before the pan will come out. Plus it's messier.
- After the pan is cracked loose, pull it forwards, down, then give it a 90 degree
rotation and fit it past the front swaybar.
- Now remove the oil pump pickup tube (4x 10mm bolts/nuts)
- Then remove the windage tray

Thoroughly scrape/wire wheel off the residual FIPG. The new FIPG will not adhere to old FIPG.

- Clean up the block mating surfaces too.
- Straighten oil pan surface carefully with ball end of small ball-peen hammer.
- When you're sure that the surfaces are really clean, use a rag and a small amount
of gas to clean and "primer" the surfaces to prepare for FIPG.
- Put a tiny bead (2mm) of FIPG on the windage tray upper surface. The bead should
run between the stud/bolt holes. When you get to the holes themselves, put the bead
on the inside edge of the holes. Don't install it yet.
- Put a slightly bigger bead (3mm) onto the oil pan mating surface. Be sure to fill up
the grooves of the oil pan.

- crawl under car, and put windage tray in place. Have a helper hold the windage tray
up with a finger by reaching over the steering rack. This keeps your helper out of the way.
- install oil pump pickup. Use a new gasket.
- install the oil pan. Remember to fit it in above the swaybar, then turn it into place.
Try not to allow the wet FIPG to touch anything. <-- this is the fun part.
- carefully have your helper retract his/her hand. You have 5-10 seconds to put the
pan in place before the windage tray falls down.

- at this point, assembly is the reverse of disassembly I <3 love saying that.
