Removing the EB2 engine oil pan bolts

Put your engine on a work bench and on a metal tray since motor oil will leak when separating the oil pan.
Unscrew and remove all visible bolts that fix the oil pan to the Peugeot EB2 engine block.
One of the bolts can only be accessed after removing the catalytic converter fixing bracket (right).
Unscrew and remove:
  1. the oil filter
  2. the oil sump
The oil sump is bonded to the oil pan with silicone sealant which requires using a flat screwdriver as a lever to separate it from the pan.
Unscrew and remove all bolts that were hidden beneath the oil filter and oil pan of the Peugeot EB2 engine.
