05 roadking oil pan
I stripped my drain plug and im having trouble putting the new drain pan back in because of the baffle springs. I keep seing post about removing the rear engine mount makes it easier but also see where when you do this the swing arm has to be re centered. Is it easier to remove the front motor mount? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated

2. No, raising the front won't help.
3. Buy a piece of thin sheet metal place it by hand in the top center of the oil tank bottom of tranny and slide the oil pan in. On thing I've not tried would be to drill a hole in the sheet metal end and zip tie it to front oil hole on the pan. Hold the back end down, compressing the springs and slide into place. Cut the zip tie and slide the sheet metal out..
